48 people feel sick after wedding dinner

HEALTH authorities in southwest Sichuan Province fined a restaurant nearly 240,000 yuan (US$35,925) for serving undercooked seafood dishes that made 48 people sick, reported Chengdu Evening Newspaper today.

Sichuan Provincial Heath Bureau yesterday confirmed the case of food poisoning was caused by bacteria in crabs and soft-shelled turtles served at a wedding banquet last Saturday at Qinheyuan Restaurant in Chongzhou County near Chengdu, the provincial capital.

Lab tests found bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the food samples, the bureau said.

Nineteen patients are still being treated in hospital but are in stable condition, the bureau said.'
