Restaurant fined over link to Salmonella outbreak

A restaurant in an Australian state has been fined for failures that contributed to a foodborne outbreak.

Consumer complaints about illness after dining at the restaurant in 2023 prompted an inspection by NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) compliance officers who found poor conditions, including unclean floors, fixtures, fittings and surfaces, rodent excrement, uncovered food and inadequate sanitizing methods.
