Twenty-four people are dead after ingesting sweets that had been mixed with pesticides. Dozens have been hospitalized. Umer Hayat bought about 11 pounds of laddu, a ball-shaped confection composed of dough and sugar, from Tariq Hotel & Sweet in the village of Karor Lal Essan
The sweets were to celebrate the birth of Hayat's grandson but recipients of the treats began falling ill Thursday. Hayat is now in critical condition in a hospital. Investigators say the shopkeeper's servant has acknowledged that he accidentally mixed pesticide into the laddu. The shop has been closed down, and the owners, two brothers, have been taken into custody. The Punjab Food Authority is now looking into the outbreak.
Wow, that's horrible! Many people died from that. I wonder what will happen to the owners of the shop where they bought the treats.

That's awful, it seems recently more and more food related sicknesses have been going around.
ReplyDeleteKenley Turner- You would think that the food industry would make the LEAST amount of mistakes, but that is clearly not the case...
ReplyDeleteWow! This is crazy, thinking that this occurred all because of a little sweet treat! Makes us be more cautious with food items now.
