Truck Fest Food Poisoning Outbreak Reported

Attendees at the recent Truck Fest in Oxfordshire reported widespread food poisoning, leading to significant discomfort and missed festival experiences. Reports indicate that many concertgoers fell severely ill with symptoms including diarrhea, with some even requiring hospitalization. The suspected source of the outbreak was identified as a third-party food vendor selling wraps, with several attendees specifically mentioning pork sandwiches as the culprit.

Festival organizers stated their on-site medical team received reports of similar symptoms on Sunday morning. A swift investigation by the Health and Safety team identified the vendor, who was then removed from operation within 90 minutes of the initial report. The festival promptly reported their findings to the local Environmental Health Officer and is cooperating with their ongoing investigation.

A spokesperson for Vale of White Horse confirmed awareness of a potential food poisoning outbreak, stating that Truck Fest reported the issue. Investigations are proceeding, involving the food business, the festival, UKHSA, and the trader's registering authority. Organizers expressed shared disappointment with those affected by the weekend's events.
