The
Assistant Commissioner of the Food Safety Department started an investigation
into the incident in which a woman died after consuming biriyani at a function.
Saranya,
22, daughter of Eravil Chandran of Anthikkad, died after consuming biriyani at
the marriage fixing ceremony of her neighbour at Anthikkad. Saranya collapsed
after reaching her home from the function.
Though
she was rushed to hospital, her life could not be saved.
Closure
ordered
The
Food Safety Assistant Commissioner B. Jayachandran ordered closure of the
catering centre that served the biriyani. The catering centre at Puthenpeedika
that supplied the biriyani did not have a food safety licence, according to
officials.
More
than 30 persons, who ate biriyani at the function, were also admitted to
various hospitals with vomiting and stomach problems.
Though
a preliminary investigation indicated it as a case of food poisoning, only the
post mortem report would confirm the reason, Mr. Jayachandran said.
