The western suburbs abattoir that has become the site of Victoria's biggest outbreak will return to full operations on Thursday, about a month after it was ordered to close.
Ten days after a group of 20 workers returned to work, Cedar Meats’ 300 employees will go back to work after being cleared of illness by the Victorian Health Department.

More than 110 cases are linked to the cluster that is the subject of a WorkSafe investigation.
In a statement, the abattoir’s general manager Tony Kairouz said strict health protocols would be implemented to ensure workers’ safety.
“We have done everything possible to provide a safe work environment for our staff,” he said.
“I am really looking forward to having the Cedar family back together.
"As a management team we have spent the last few weeks working closely with DHHS and WorkSafe to ensure that we are returning in the safest possible manner.”
