🚨 Heads Up! 🚨
Several diners fell ‘violently ill’ after enjoying a Sunday lunch at a popular Cwmbran pub. If you’ve recently eaten at The Cwrt Henllys Bar and Restaurant, you might want to pay attention.
On October 5th, a number of families found their lovely Sunday roast turning into a rather unpleasant experience. Environmental health officers have now confirmed that it was a case of food poisoning. The surprising culprit? Clostridium perfringens – a pesky bacteria that can be a bit sneaky, surviving even the hottest ovens and popping up when food isn’t stored properly afterward.
One pregnant woman shared her frightening experience of waking in the middle of the night with severe stomach cramps. And it’s not just humans affected—one family claims even their dog got sick after munching on leftovers!
Thankfully, no new cases have been reported since, and environmental health leaders assure us there’s no ongoing public health threat. But it’s certainly a reminder about the importance of food safety, especially when preparing and storing meals.
Remember, keep those cold meats cold and those hot dishes hot to keep things safe and sound. Stay well, folks! 🥦🥩 🍽️
For the curious, clostridium perfringens often lurks in meats left out too long, making it a familiar foe in places serving up large amounts of food. So, whether you’re a pub regular or enjoying a feast at home, keep your eye on those fridge and oven dials!
Stay tuned and stay safe!
