A couple has been fined $42,000 for causing the worst food poisoning
outbreak in NSW - which lead to 319 people falling ill in 2007.Long and
Linda Fou, former owners of the Homebush French Golden Hot Bakery, each
pleaded guilty to four charges of handling and selling unsafe food in
March 2007.

"This case is a wake-up call to all food businesses - especially those
who cut corners, ignore food safety laws and put consumers' health at
risk," NSW Primary Industries Minister Ian Macdonald said today. "This
was an appalling food poisoning incident where 136 people were
hospitalised and a further 165 people sought medical treatment. So in
this case, there was a total of 319* people who were sick, which placed
an extra demand on our health system, and also resulted in lost time at
work."

"A thorough investigation by the NSW Food Authority found that the
source of the food poisoning was raw egg mayonnaise used in
Vietnamese-style pork and chicken rolls. The food was stored and
displayed at temperatures at least double what health guidelines
require, causing dangerous Salmonella bacteria to multiply rapidly,"
Minister Macdonald noted. "The culprits behind this terrible outbreak
were warned two years earlier of their poor food handling practices but
failed to heed warnings and advice by the Food Authority."
