SATURDAY STORY:
A health alert has been issued to people who have eaten food from Kenny's Kebabs at Westfield Miranda after four people were hospitalised with a rare bacterial gastroenteritis.
NSW Health said the patients became sick from the Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) in the Sutherland area on Thursday.
It was revealed that all four had eaten food from Kenny's Kebabs between January 4 and 8.
NSW Food Authority officials went to the shop on Friday and found a number of concerns associated with food handling and preparation.
They served a prohibition order, stopping the business from trading until further notice.
Director of South Eastern Sydney Public Heath Unit Professor Mark Ferson said it was important customers of the kebab shop were aware of the risks as it was likely that there would be more cases.
He said symptoms of STEC infection include diarrhoea that may have blood in it, abdominal cramps and nausea and vomiting.
Do you know anyone affected?
