Fat Duck, one of England’s most famous restaurants had to close it doors for a few days due to an illness that affected a number of their customers. This is a restaurants worst nightmare and I am glad to hear that is wasn’t the food at the Fat Duck, but a virus that caused the problem. Chef Heston Blumenthal states that his is one of the only restaurants that send food out to be tested every month.

You're right, at least it wasn't the food...

Norovirus can infect one person who ate bad food, and then they can pass it on to another. Norovirus can be in foods. Mostly in salads and shell fish. And even in berries.
There are many types of norovirus. Using a bleach solution is the only thing which kills it. Ordinary soad and water do not work.
The article says that their policy on ill employees was not good also.
People who own restaurants and allow sick people to work in them are not very smart.
This is a prime example of what can happen.
