    Jetstar says the illness is still a mystery

    Jetstar says the food served on a flight from Melbourne to Honolulu yesterday was not the source of a mystery outbreak of sickness.

    Ten passengers fell ill with nausea and stomach complaints about two hours into the flight.


    Jetstar spokesman Simon Westaway says the cause of the illness is still a mystery, but it was not the food.


    He says airline staff and caterers have investigated the matter.


    "They have yesterday worked very closely with us, obviously it was right to look in to the matter," he said.


    "Their systems around that particular flight, the food samples that have been looked at from that flight are not showing anything other than the supply of fresh tasty food to that service to Honololulu," Mr Westaway said.

    From the Related Story link above:

    They were held in the quarantine area at Honolulu's airport, and an elderly woman was taken to hospital suffering dehydration.
    But Jetstar's Simon Westaway say he does not believe the plane food caused the outbreak.
    He says some of sick passengers had not even eaten on the aeroplane.
