Food stall shut down after dozens fall ill at Truck Festival 2026
A food stall at Truck Festival 2026 in Oxfordshire was taken out of service after dozens of attendees reported becoming ill, with organisers identifying it as the suspected source. The incident matters because it affected festival-goers’ health and prompted an investigation involving local environmental health officials and the UK Health Security Agency.
Truck Festival said reports of similar symptoms reached its on-site medical team on Sunday 26 July, and the Yorky Roast stall was removed within 90 minutes. The four-day event drew a record 27,500 people; Vale of White Horse District Council said it was investigating a potential food-poisoning outbreak with the vendor, organisers and health authorities.
