In a tragic incident in Hoskote, Bengaluru Rural, a 65-year-old woman named Siddagangamma lost her life, while 135 others were hospitalized in a suspected case of food poisoning. The unfortunate incident is believed to be linked to the consumption of an edible offering at a local place of worship. Authorities are actively monitoring the situation as the Health department continues to investigate.
Over 700 employees of Airbus Atlantic have fallen sick with severe gastrointestinal symptoms after a Christmas dinner laid on at the company’s dining facilities in Montoir-de-Bretagne in northwest France.
French health authorities say they are now investigating the cause of the mass sickness, which started at the end of last week.
Employees enjoyed the Christmas dinner just before the weekend of 16th and 17th December, but in the following days, hundreds of workers had fallen ill with vomiting and diarrhoea.

The FDA has warned about certain oysters harvested in Canada and sold in the United States because two people have become infected with Campylobacter jejuni.
On Dec. 18, the Utah Shellfish Authority notified the Food and Drug Administration of two cases of Campylobacter connected to consumption of oysters from British Columbia, Canada. The FDA has notified the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) of the illnesses, and the CFIA is investigating. The two patients consumed oysters in Utah and Wisconsin, and the FDA is coordinating with the CFIA and state authorities to determine if any additional distribution occurred.
The FDA is awaiting further information from the CFIA on the distribution of the oysters and will continue to monitor the investigation and help state authorities as needed.
The FDA is advising restaurants and food retailers not to serve or sell and to dispose of oysters and consumers not to eat oysters from Pacific Oyster Fanny Bay, harvested on Nov. 8 from harvest area BC 14- 8 with Landfile # 1402294 and Oyster Malaspina Live, harvested on Nov. 9 from harvest area BC 14-8 with Landfile # 278761 and shipped to distributors in Utah and Wisconsin.
