A woman who was under treatment for alleged food poisoning after consuming food at a restaurant in Thrissur district of Kerala a few days ago died at the Government Medical College Hospital, police said on Tuesday, 28 May.

Usaiba, hailing from Perinjanam, was in her 50s. She died early on Tuesday, they said.

Around 70 people who consumed food from a restaurant in Perinjanam near Moonnupeedika on Saturday sought treatment at various hospitals on Sunday due to alleged food poisoning, health officials said.

Health officials suspect that the consumption of mayonnaise supplied with the dish known as “kuzhimanthi”, a Yemeni dish, is the reason for the food poisoning.

Soon after the incident, the authorities sealed the eatery, an officer of the Kaipamangalam police station, under whose jurisdiction the incident occurred, said.

“The authorities have sealed the hotel following the incident,” said an officer of the Kaipamangalam police station.
