Four people taken ill after a Newcastle street food festival were suffering from food poisoning, environmental health chiefs said.
About 200 visitors reported having a diarrhoea and vomiting bug after the three-day Street Spice Event in Times Square, which finished on Sunday.
Newcastle City Council and the Health Protection Agency said preliminary tests had confirmed Salmonella.
The council also said organisers were co-operating with the investigation.
