Overview
- Queensland Health confirmed an unlabelled capsicum and chilli paste, a marinated eggplant containing that paste, and a homemade dough as the shared foods across all cases.
- A sixth person was identified through contact tracing as a family member of the previously affected households.
- The items were produced in a home kitchen and circulated within the Logan community from mid‑September through gifting or very local sales.
- All six people are improving under treatment at home, and officials report no cases outside the family clusters and no ongoing production or distribution of the items.
- Brodifacoum, a long‑acting rat poison that blocks vitamin K and can cause unexplained bleeding, is the confirmed contaminant, and health authorities are working with police as the investigation continues.
