700 employees of Airbus Atlantic fell ill after the company hosted a Christmas dinner. The dinner, which included lobster, scallops, gone gars, and tournedos, was organized at a restaurant on-site in Montoir-de-Bretagne, western France, according to Fox News.
Health authorities in France have initiated an inquiry as 700 individuals out of the 2,600 attendees at the event exhibited “clinical signs of vomiting and/or diarrhoea” following the dinner on December 14th.
Nevertheless, the cause behind this incident has not been determined as of now.
Nowlenn, a staff member affected by the illness, characterized the ailment as distressingly painful. Nowlenn said, “I had colic and headaches like I’d never had before. It was worse than giving birth.”
A spokesperson from Airbus Atlantic conveyed that nobody was “seriously ill.”
Jean-Claude Iribarren, the secretary of the works committee, said that the food was cooked by the company’s canteen.
Irubarren stated, “People have been a little hasty about the causes. We are obliged to keep samples of every product served in the restaurant. They will be analysed by the ARS. The investigation will take several more days.”
