Foodborne sources suspected in fatal South African cases

Posted on October 30, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

Officials in South Africa have issued a warning after several cases of children falling seriously ill after eating different types of snacks.

Authorities appealed for calm following reports claiming children had died after consuming items bought from spaza shops. These sites are also called tuck shops and are informal grocery stores.

The Gauteng Health Department confirmed the deaths of at least five children due to suspected foodborne sources.

In one incident, four boys aged 2, 3, 4, and 6 allegedly ate sweets and chips from a vendor in Westonaria. The youngest two died. In another case, two 6-year-olds died after consuming biscuits and juice from a local shop. Police have taken samples for processing to find the source.
