A group of food safety officials launched a series of inspections at 90 shawarma outlets in Madurai district, Tamil Nadu, following a tragic incident where a 14-year-old girl passed away due to food poisoning, allegedly from consuming chicken shawarma.
The unfortunate incident occurred when the girl and her family decided to enjoy a meal together, which included a chicken shawarma, among other non-vegetarian items brought home from a local restaurant by her father.
Prompted by this incident, the state's Health and Family Welfare Minister, Ma Subramaniam, took swift action, ordering the thorough inspection of all hotels and shawarma joints operating in the area.
