And this is why MasterChef sucks.
Public health chiefs tonight confirmed they had launched a national probe into the outbreak.
In total, 205 workers and 160 customers have fallen ill in vomiting bug cases linked to the popular restaurant chain.
Wahaca was founded by Thomasina Miers, who won MasterChef in 2005. It has 25 venues across the UK.
Nine of its restaurants across the UK were voluntarily shut down in the wake of the outbreak. Five have since reopened.
One of the restaurants affected was the chain’s branch in Canary Wharf, East London.
One diner struck down after visiting the venue said: “It was horrendous. I felt terrible. It took three days for me to recover.
“A friend I went with was ill on the Tube, they didn’t manage to make it home, it came on that quickly.”
A message to customers on the official website for the Canary Wharf restaurant today said: “We’re really sorry but due to unforeseen circumstances, we’ve had to close today.
“We hope to be open up again soon (and continue making money while you barf), please keep an eye here for updates.”
Public Health England has confirmed to the Daily Mirror that it had launched a major probe into the outbreak.
