Online, June 13, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Holidaymakers that travelled to the 3-day spice food festival in Newcastle, in 2013, may have taken home more than they bargain for, with studies finding that the chutney was contaminated with uncooked curry leaves.These lives were found to contain E-Coli and Shigella illness. 413 people have come forward since then, but Journey Owl know that there must be more based on the amount of infected chutney that was sold. They are now appealing for more people to come forward because they could be entitled to compensation.There have been 29 cases of Salmonella that have been confirmed. Symptoms of the illness included diarrhoea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach cramps and fever.
