Newsweek

Dozens of people were admitted to hospital in India over the weekend after suspected food poisoning at a wedding function on May 17.

The exact numbers remain uncertain, but as many as 135 guests have been hospitalized, the Hindu reported, adding that many of them are children.

The wedding took place in Kalady, in the Malappuram district in Kerala. The following day, many of the guests began experiencing symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting and fever and many were admitted to hospital on May 19, health officials said. No one is said to be in a critical condition.

According to local reports, last Wednesday’s wedding wasn’t the only mass food poisoning incident last week. Roughly 60 guests at a wedding in a neighboring district, including a pregnant woman, were hospitalized on Sunday afternoon due to food poisoning, which the guests claim was caused by a fish curry.

Research “Forbidden Fish”: Did King Henry I Die of Lamprey Poisoning or Listeria monocytogenes?

Posted on May 23, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Cureus

Abstract

For centuries, the sudden and mysterious death of King Henry I has been attributed to a large meal of lampreys that accidentally poisoned the unfortunate monarch. In this article, we conclude that lampreys were likely not the cause of the king’s illness, nor is it likely that he was deliberately poisoned. Although a wide variety of abdominal pathologies could have been responsible, we suggest that a sporadic central nervous system (CNS) infection of Listeria monocytogenes appears to be the most likely cause of Henry’s death, correlating with both his symptoms and rapid decline.

Research – Scientists develop “rapid” Salmonella detector

Posted on May 23, 2023 by | Leave a comment

New Food Magazine

A team of researchers have been working on a device that they claim can detect the presence of salmonella in food.

According to the team, the device is an “easy-to-use” colorimetric assay that is based on a novel nucleic acid probe, cleaved by an RNase enzyme specific to the salmonella species. The researchers have said that this specific enzymatic cleavage principle “made it possible to build a sensitive but simple and portable test system using colloidal gold”.
