Coogee Bay Hotel makes a statement….better than making a deposit!
Sydney’s Coogee Bay Hotel has announced that laboratory testing of the ice cream tub involved in the recent health care has been returned and shows no faecal contamination.
The NSW Food Authority has begun its investigation and have unfortunately advised Coogee Bay Hotel not to release the CCTV footage and the footage has been given to the NSW Food Authority who have viewed the footage.
Coogee Bay Hotel has also initiated contact with the police and welcome their involvement.
Contrary to media reports today, Executive Chef Adam Wood did not resign over the Whyte’s alleged incident.
He tendered his resignation three weeks before and as a good will gesture
agreed to stay on throughout the re-launch period until the 17th October 2008.
Adam has left the hotel on good terms and has offered to be DNA tested, along with other staff, if required.
Also contrary to media reports today, the CCTV footage provided to the authorities does not show CBH Restaurant manager Cherilyn Kennedy serving the ice-cream to the Whyte’s.
Coogee Bay Hotel is very keen for the footage to reach the public domain, as soon as possible, and through the appropriate channels.
Coogee Bay Hotel is calling for the substance – that is now with the Food Authority – to be DNA tested as part of their laboratory reporting.
