Sami Abdullah, 46, and Hassan Saritag, 38, ran Marmaris Kebab Shop in Abergavenny, where dozens of customers were poisoned by shigella bacteria More than 50 customers were poisoned by contaminated food served by a South Wales kebab shop whose bosses have now been ordered to pay £10,000. Eleven of them were hospitalised by a shigella outbreak in Abergavenny, including an 11-year-old boy who suffered a ‘life-changing illness’.
Marmaris Kebab House has changed hands after the council suggested Mr Abdulla and Mr Saritag close the business Both takeaway director Mr Abdullah, and business partner Mr Saritag, pleaded guilty to placing unsafe food on the market, failing to implement food safety procedures, and failing to register new owners at the business. District Judge Sophie Toms said the pair failure to ‘keep people safe’, instead ‘breaking the trust of people in Abergavenny and causing significant harm’.
