According to preliminary information, all the patients ate Singapore cheesecake, which included raw eggs.
In total, according to Ivanchenko-Tymko, 76 people were affected, including 10 children. Almost half of them were found to be infected with Salmonella enteritidis.

Salmonellosis is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium of the genus Salmonella. The infection is transmitted mainly through food of animal origin – raw meat, eggs, unpasteurized milk. The incubation period usually lasts from 6 hours to 3 days. The incidence is seasonal, with a peak in the summer and autumn. This is due to the active consumption of perishable foods and the growing number of picnics, which are often accompanied by violations of sanitary standards. The incubation period for salmonellosis usually ranges from 6 hours to 3 days, but can be extended to 7 days with a low infectious dose.
As a reminder, restaurateur and businessman Mykhailo Katsurin reported a mass poisoning in his new restaurant in Lviv. Katsurin himself was also admitted to the infectious diseases department with signs of food poisoning.
