Salmonella outbreak at Brisbane’s South Bank Surf Club being investigated
HEALTH authorities are investigating a salmonella outbreak at a Brisbane seafood restaurant.
The South Bank Surf Club was inspected after complaints from diners who had confirmed cases of food poisoning.
Restaurant management told The Courier-Mail that Queensland Health and Brisbane City Council had contacted the business after several sick people came forward.
The manager said the cause had been identified as “a bad batch of eggs’’ provided by a supplier. They said the eggs had been used in sauces served with seafood platters.
“We’ve been caught out, unfortunately. Our customers’ wellbeing is our priority and anyone with concerns can get in touch with us,” they said. “To rectify the problem, we are not making sauces in-house.’’
