Sydney bakery closed after salmonella sickens 120, 22 hospitalized

ABC News reports an outbreak of salmonella linked to a bakery in Sydney’s west is being investigated by the State Government’s public health unit.

Almost 120 people have sought help, suffering from gastroenteritis after eating takeaway food from a bakery at Bankstown.

Twenty-two of those have been admitted to hospital for treatment.

The bakery has now been closed until further noticed.

Why not name the bakery so previous inspections can be checked on the government’s name-and-shame website?
