Food poisoning

E. coli outbreak in Germany - information from the NHS Choices website on the situation in Germany and advice on how to avoid food poisioning.


Preventing E.coli contamination - the Food Standards Agency has published new guidance clarifying the steps that food businesses need to take to control the risk of contamination from the food bug E.coli O157.

Suffolk Coastal's Food and Safety team are formally notified by local doctors and local hospitals when people living in the district are found to be suffering from food poisoning.

When these notifications are received the circumstances surrounding the illness are looked into to try to identify, where possible, the cause of the illness and to give advice so that more people do not become ill.
