|
|
<li title="*">What and where they've eaten prior to their illness;</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Details of their symptoms;</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Whether they've been on holiday abroad;</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Whether or not their GP has taken a faecal sample and;</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Whether anybody else they ate with also experienced any symptoms. We may request that person to provide a faecal sample.</li>
|
|
</ul><p>If a person with symptoms is a food handler or health care/nursery worker who has direct contact or contact through serving food, with highly susceptible patients or persons in whom an intestinal infection would have serious consequences,
|
|
they cannot return to work until they are symptom-free for 48 hours. They must also inform their employer of their symptoms.</p><p>Parents or guardians of children aged under 5 years or children or adults unable to implement good standards of personal hygiene, are advised to keep them away from school or other establishments until they have also been symptom-free for 48 hours.</p><h4>Food Poisoning Outbreaks</h4><p>If a number of people ate at the same venue and have the same food poisoning-type symptoms, this may be due to a Food Poisoning Outbreak. Our investigation into the outbreak will involve:</p><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">interviewing people who are ill</li>
|
|
<li title="*">interviewing others who ate at the venue but didn't have symptoms,</li>
|
|
<li title="*">taking faecal and food samples (if appropriate) and</li>
|
|
<li title="*">inspecting the implicated venue.</li>
|
|
</ul><p>If there is enough evidence implicating a food premises within the area as a possible source of the outbreak, we may decide to carry out a food hygiene inspection (see for action we can take following a food inspection).</p><p>If you believe that you are suffering from food poisoning (i.e. sickness and diarrhoea) please contact us using the details above.</p><h4>Relevant Legislation:</h4><ul>
