Another Food Poisoning Outbreak in Pork Rolls

Here we go again, another Vietnamese Bakery in Australia causing food poisoning with their products, the tasty Vietnamese Pork Rolls. This time it’s in the Melbourne suburb of Springvale. Unlike the previous salmonella outbreak where 18 people were hospitalized, only 4 were affected.

As a precaution, the bakery has been ordered to close after nine customers fell ill with salmonella poisoning.

Victoria’s acting chief health officer Dr Chrissie Pickin issued an order yesterday requiring the business to close. The order also requires the business owners to fully dispose of all their food and raw ingredients and thoroughly clean the premises.

Once the health investigators were satisfied that the cleanup was done satisfactorily, and that food handlers at the bakery were clear about how to handle food properly, the bakery can re-open.
