A heavily pregnant woman was among 139 diners who came down with food poisoning after eating at an Indian restaurant.

Thirteen of those needed hospital while 17 in all were confirmed as having picked up a strain of E.coli bacteria.

The Khyber Pass restaurant in Nottingham - which also does takeaway food - was ordered to close until further notice on June 26 as a result of the outbreak.

The pregnant woman was not hospitalised and did not teat positive for E.coli.

She has now fully recovered.

Customers suffered gastrointestinal symptoms such as feverish temperatures, severe vomiting and chronic diarrhoea.

Public Health England is working with Nottingham City Council to investigate.

Investigations are ongoing to try to determine the source of the outbreak.

The Khyber Pass was last inspected in April 2013, when it was given the top hygiene rating of five marks.

Nottingham City Council’s food and health and safety manager, Paul Dales, said: “We are confident that the closure of the premises has contained the outbreak.”

The restaurant owners were unavailable for comment.
