Expert Opinion
We have now been contacted by one person who has been affected by this alleged outbreak.
“The illness described to us by our client is concerning, and it is particularly worrying that these issues have emerged so soon after reports that more than 100 people have been affected by a separate E. Coli outbreak in Nottingham.
“In terms of the issues in Kirkby, we have seen a number of instances in the past where Salmonella has had a major impact on sufferers. Such problems can often lead to the development of long-term health conditions from which sufferers may never fully recover.
“We welcome the steps taken regarding this outbreak in Kirkby and we hope that investigations can be completed quickly to provide comprehensive answers regarding the source and cause of the outbreak." Amandeep Dhillon - Partner
