An outbreak of Listeriosis occurred among people who had purchased chicken wrap sandwichs on Virgin Blue flights in Australia. Two of the ill were pregnant women; the illness resulted in their giving birth prematurely with both infants surviving. Wraps were available on flights along the east coast of Australia to New Zealand, Bali and out of Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The contamination was linked to the chicken meat that had been supplied to caterers who sold the wraps to Virgin Blue Airlines. A food processing plant in Wollongong has been identified as the source of a Listeria food poisoning outbreak on Virgin Blue flights last month. The Food Authority of Queensland revealed the the Listeria bacteria came from cooked, diced, chicken supplied by GMI Food Wholesalers Pty Ltd, which traded as Australian Poultry and Food Wholesalers.
