HIBAPRESS – Abdellatif Baraka
Agadir witnessed a state of health alert during the last hours of Saturday evening, following the registration of food poisoning cases among a number of citizens, which necessitated their urgent transfer to the hospital to receive the necessary treatment.
According to the available data, the number of those infected exceeded 20 people, who showed symptoms of acute poisoning, which is likely related to the consumption of sweets purchased from a bakery in the Agroud neighborhood of the Benserkaw area in Agadir. The cases were directed to the Mohammed VI University Hospital in Agadir, where the medical teams mobilized their resources to take care of the injured. Identical sources reported that some cases arrived in a critical health condition at the emergency department, but the medical interventions enabled their condition to stabilize, after subjecting them to the necessary examinations and receiving the necessary treatments to avoid any potential complications. In contrast, the local authorities rushed to react to the incident, where the shop suspected of being the source of the poisoning was closed, and a field investigation was opened to determine the circumstances and circumstances of the accident. Samples were also taken from the food items in question to be subjected to laboratory analysis, pending the results that will accurately reveal the source of the poisoning.
