One hundred diners were hospitalized with food poisoning at a filthy Chinese restaurant in July 2014.

Scores of sick customers who had eaten at the Real China had to be rushed to A&E following an outbreak of Salmonella.

Southampton Magistrates’ Court heard shocked inspectors found hunks of raw meat left in a sink and dirty tea towels dumped on the kitchen floor of the restaurant in Eastleigh, Hampshire.

Now those involved with the restaurant at the time have been hit with £70,000 in fines and costs, after what was reportedly the biggest food poisoning outbreak the borough council has ever seen.

Akkora Management, who run the restaurant, and director Zudong Liu admitted 15 offences of failing to comply with EU laws relating to food safety and hygiene.

The company was given a fine of £30,000, Liu a further £21,500 and £22,000 in costs was also ordered, the Daily Echo reports.

The Real China is now under new management.
