• DOZENS ‘POISONED’ AFTER EATING AT SYLVANIA BAKERY

A WOMAN had to undergo an emergency C-section after falling sick from eating a chicken roll following a massive salmonella outbreak at a southern Sydney bakery.

Describing the experience as terrifying, Ashleigh was rushed to Wollongong Hospital as a result of the outbreak which struck 150 customers and brought Sutherland Hospital to a standstill .

Dodgy chicken schnitzel and pork rolls sold from Sylvania’s popular Box Village Bakery over the last week landed 27 people in hospital with severe gastro-like symptoms of vomiting and ­diarrhoea.

Fifteen people suffering ­salmonella were still in hospital.

The women, Ashleigh, told 2UE Breakfast with John and Garry today, it was a “terrifying” experience but luckily she had given birth to a healthy baby girl.

“My husband and I came up for a birthing class and popped in to have lunch at the bakery,” she said.

“We had a hot chicken roll each and by Sunday night we were both admitted to hospital.

“The infection was so severe, I was so sick...by Tuesday I had deteriorated more and they had to do an emergency caesarian.

“It was all quite frightening, my blood pressure went right down. They had to rush me straight to ICU after the delivery.

“My husband was in hospital at the time but because he was sick he wasn’t allowed to come into theatre to see the birth.”

The NSW Food Authority closed the bakery on Monday as scores of ill customers continued to flood emergency rooms at Sutherland and St George hospitals.
