From the ever wonderful Barfblog:
Irony can be ironic: 113 sick after public health conference in Norway
Thanks to a barfblog.com fan in Norway who provided the article and translation:
More than 100 participants at the health- and quality-registration conference were ill after eating from a lunch buffet at Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Oslo on Thursday 10 March. The Norwegian institute of public health (FHI) was co-hosting the conference together with the Norwegian directorate of health.
One-hundred and thirteen people came down with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The Norwegian food safety authority has collected samples of food from the buffet and patient samples, while FHI sent out a survey to all the participants (399 of 600 have replied to the survey) but they still cannot confirm whether it was a virus or foodborne pathogen.
Egg on faces - wonder how many heads will roll at the hotel. Not a good thing...
