This film chronicles a Salmonella outbreak that affected a group of men during their evening meal. The incident began with a routine meal that led to widespread illness, characterized by vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Investigations revealed that the cause was Salmonella Typhimurium, contaminating leftover chicken and gravy. The contamination occurred during food preparation, specifically from an unclean cutting board used for both raw chicken and giblets, and then exacerbated by improper handling and storage of leftovers. The outbreak resulted in 173 infections and 84 hospitalizations, though all affected individuals eventually recovered.
