The Centre for Health Protection is investigating the food poisoning of 10 people who ate at a Wong Tai Sin restaurant.

Nine men and a woman, aged 18 to 20, came down with diarrhoea, abdominal pain, vomiting and fever after eating at the premises on August 19.

Their symptoms were generally mild and all sought treatment at Tseung Kwan O Hospital. None required hospitalisation.

People, especially food handlers, should observe good personal and environmental hygiene to prevent food-borne diseases. More food safety tips are available here.
