Two lunchtime buffet meals at a Spanish hotel are being probed after the accommodation was accused of being at the centre of a suspected salmonella outbreak that left more than 100 tourists stricken with sickness.
The four-star Izan Cavanna Hotel in La Manga said it 'deeply regrets' what has happened and insisted it is doing 'everything it can' to resolve the situation, while also brushing aside criticism from furious guests over its handling of the incident.
Regional health chiefs confirmed yesterday that 47 people had needed treatment at the A&E unit of Santa Lucia Hospital in Cartagena, nine of whom - including three children - remain in hospital in a stable condition.
Among those rushed to hospital were several children, a 15-month-old baby, and a heavily-pregnant woman whose husband described her condition as 'delicate.'
He also launched an angry social media attack on the hotel, claiming the family had been ignored despite her worsening state.
