Title: Hundreds Sick After Christmas Dinner at Airbus Atlantic in France
Subtitle: Investigation Underway to Determine Cause of Mass Gastroenteritis Outbreak
In a shocking turn of events, a Christmas dinner organized for 2,600 workers at Airbus Atlantic in France has left hundreds of staff members sick. Health authorities have now launched an investigation to determine the cause of the mass outbreak of gastroenteritis among approximately 700 employees.
The dinner, provided by the company’s own restaurant located at its site in Montoir-de-Bretagne, seemed like a festive treat for the hardworking employees. Priced at just €15 (£13) per person, the menu boasted a lavish spread including foie gras, scallops, lobster, tournedos, ice-cream logs, and hazelnut and chocolate mousse.
Unfortunately, within 24 to 48 hours of consuming the meal, the affected workers began experiencing symptoms of vomiting and/or diarrhea. The severity of the symptoms had some employees comparing their illness to something “worse than giving birth.”
Health officials remain puzzled as they have yet to identify the cause of the mass poisoning. Speculations revolve around the potential presence of a bacterium in the food or an extremely contagious gastroenteritis virus. In their efforts to solve the mystery, investigators have sent questionnaires to all attendees of the ill-fated meal.
The food served at the Airbus Atlantic site was prepared by their own company canteen, which sources ingredients from local suppliers. To assist in the investigation, health authorities have decided to analyze samples from every product served in the restaurant.
Airbus Atlantic, a subsidiary of Airbus and a major employer in the area, employs a staggering 15,000 people across five countries. However, the company has stated that no one has been seriously ill and that the case is now being fully handled by the health authority.
As the investigation is ongoing, results are expected to be available next week. The findings will shed crucial light on the unfortunate incident, providing insight into the source of the outbreak and hopefully preventing any future occurrences.
This incident serves as a stark reminder that even a seemingly harmless Christmas dinner can have severe consequences. As the affected Airbus Atlantic workers recover and the investigation continues, it serves as a cautionary tale for other companies and restaurants to prioritize the safety and well-being of their employees and customers.
