Hospital Sandwiches Linked to Fatal Listeria Outbreak
TL;DR
Two women died after eating chicken mayo sandwiches suspected of containing listeria while patients at Manchester Royal Infirmary in 2019, leading to a joint inquest. The source of the bacteria was linked to an external food supplier, not the hospital's kitchens. The sandwiches were made by a now-liquidated food company and supplied to hospitals, causing a nationwide alert over the listeria outbreak. The inquest aims to determine the source of the listeria infection, which was the suspected cause of the women's deaths, and has been adjourned for further proceedings.
