Kerala Food Poisoning Death

A woman who was under treatment for alleged food poisoning after consuming food at a restaurant in this central Kerala district a few days ago died at the Government Medical College Hospital in Thrissur, police said today.

The death of a young woman in Kottayam district of Kerala recently, after having a non-veg dish from an eatery, has been found to be due to food poisoning and the chief cook of the restaurant was arrested on Sunday, police said.

In another suspected case of food poisoning, a 20-year old woman has died after allegedly consuming 'Kuzhimanthi' - a biryani dish in Kerala from a local hotel.

The Food Safety Department of Kerala government has conducted an inspection in 429 establishments across the state and shut down 43 hotels following the death of a woman in a suspected food poisoning incident at a religious event.

It took the death by food poisoning of a 21-year-old to shake Kerala's health authorities out of their slumber on the lack of basic hygiene in many eateries across the state. In the past few days, some 50 establishments of varying sizes have been shut across the state for not following minimum standards.
