Australian Campylobacter outbreak linked to pâté

Problems in the production process of pâté likely contributed to an outbreak of Campylobacter in an Australian state.

An outbreak of Campylobacter jejuni was reported to the Hunter New England Public Health Unit in late July 2025. The agency was notified of campylobacteriosis in a two-year-old child, and the child’s grandmother. Both patients had been to a family event at a local restaurant.
