Overview

• The Rochdale inquest concluded that Leslie Green died from salmonella-induced sepsis and multi-organ failure after eating partially cooked chicken at the Occidental Jandia Playa.
• Evidence presented showed Mr. Green had only eaten on-site buffet food and that the chicken he consumed was undercooked.
• Barceló Hotel Group said it follows rigorous food-safety protocols and holds certificates from an independent auditor confirming no salmonella detections in the past 12 months.
• Tour operator Jet2 declined to address liability because of an ongoing legal claim but offered its condolences to the Green family.
• Julie Green has urged stronger buffet safety measures and the case is renewing scrutiny of the effectiveness of external audits in the resort industry.
