Victoria’s Chief Health Officer Dr Brett Sutton has said that there have been five cases of the illness throughout the country, which may be related to this particular strain of salmonella.

Symptoms of salmonella regularly present between six and 72 hours following contamination.

These include fever, headache, vomiting, abdominal cramps, nausea and diarrhoea.

If you are concerned that you may have been affected, contact your GP immediately.
