There are a surprising number of Sizzler restaurants scattered around Australia. One in Booval, Queensland, west of Brisbane, is apparently the source of a suspected gastro outbreak.
Public health physician Dr Kari Jarvinen and Sizzler confirmed the Ipswich restaurant was being investigated after multiple reports of 
gastro.
He said the venue was co-operating in the investigation and would be checked to assure the appropriate level of sanitation and cleaning had taken place.
Woodend mum Kellie Roussounis-Adams and her family became ill with a gastro illness after eating at the restaurant last Friday.
“The following day my entire family was sick, including my two children,” she said. “My husband, who works as a concreter, was forced to take a day off work.”
Mrs Roussounis-Adams became aware of the gastro outbreak through social media.
Sizzlers refunded the cost of the meal to Mrs Roussounis-Adams, which is helping Queensland Health identify the source.
A Sizzler spokeswoman said customers had raised their concerns after the Friday night.
Brianna, along with most of the other 140 people who were sickened in the outbreak, consumed watermelon that had been cross-contaminated with raw meat.
