Hamilton restaurant temporarily closed due to salmonella outbreak: public health

On Monday, Hamilton Public Health ordered the Piper Arms Stoney Creek on Stone Church Road East to close following an investigation into a salmonella outbreak linked to nine confirmed cases, seven of whom were hospitalized.
Officials conducted inspections on Friday and Monday, reviewing food handling and sanitation practices while collecting food samples for laboratory testing to determine the outbreak source.
Confirmed cases reported symptoms including diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and chills appearing between March 30 and April 5, according to Hamilton Public Health.
People who ate at the restaurant and are experiencing symptoms should stay home, practice good hand hygiene, and seek medical care if symptoms worsen, officials advise.
While no specific food source has been confirmed, the closure ensures safety before reopening; most people recover without treatment, though children and older adults face higher risks of severe illness.
