More than 40 people have fallen sick in Spain with a type of sandwich served at a restaurant suspected of causing illness.
The Regional Delegation of Health and Consumption of the Andalusian Government confirmed it is investigating 44 cases of food poisoning from the beginning of January.
A woman in her 60s has died but it is unclear if this is related to the food consumed as part of the outbreak.Health officials in Córdoba said the likely cause is E. coli or Clostridium perfringens.
The agency has not made public the name of the outlet where the poisoning started. However, it has carried out an inspection of the premises where contaminated food was served.
Investigations indicate the cause was a pringá sandwich prepared at the site, since this is the only food consumed by all those affected in the outbreak. A pringá sandwich includes meat that has been cooked slowly for a long time with some bread.
