KFC Australia to appeal NSW Supreme Court judgment
The NSW Supreme Court found KFC responsible for causing the salmonella poisoning of a young girl in Sydney in 2005.
The family of Monika Samaan had sought compensation from KFC claiming Monika had become ill after eating a chicken Twister purchased from a Sydney store in October 2005, but KFC denied the claim.
KFC Australia’s Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Sally Glover said, “This is clearly a very tragic case but we are deeply disappointed and surprised by the judge’s decision. We believe the evidence showed KFC did not cause this tragedy and, after reviewing the judgment and seeking further advice from our lawyers, we have decided to appeal Justice Rothman’s decision.”
Glover said they will not be making any further comment as the matter will now be on appeal.
