In a distressing turn of events, more than 200 individuals have been hospitalized following a food poisoning outbreak linked to Tram Anh Chicken Rice Restaurant in Nha Trang, a renowned destination for both tourists and locals. Nguyen Thanh Ha, spokesperson for Khanh Hoa Province People’s Committee, detailed that 157 of those affected are receiving treatment at 12 different hospitals and medical centers, with the remainder being treated at home.
The ongoing investigation by the health authorities is yet to determine the exact cause of the poisoning, as tests on both the patients’ samples and the eatery’s food samples are still pending. The eatery, which holds legal licenses and food safety certification, is currently under scrutiny for failing to provide contracts for its ingredient purchases.
