Health authorities in the United Kingdom have issued an urgent appeal for individuals who dined at a restaurant in Bordeaux, France, to immediately contact emergency services following a distressing outbreak of botulism. Tragically, one individual has lost their life, and eight others have been hospitalised in connection with this outbreak, all of whom had visited the Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux.

The affected diners, some of whom have been identified as Irish citizens, reportedly consumed sardines at the restaurant between the 4 and 10 of September. Botulism is an exceptionally rare yet severe illness caused by a potent toxin that targets the nervous system.
