Posted on November 30, 2020 by | Leave a comment

The Standard

Four people have fallen sick from two suspected food poisoning cases after eating a chicken dish at Chicken Soup Noodle House in Pilkem Street in Jordan, the Center for Health Protection said today.

All the patients were in stable condition as of last night.

In the first case, a 39-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman developed symptoms such as abdominal pains, diarrhea and vomiting within 9.5 to ten hours after consuming the chicken dish at the eatery on November 21.

In another case, two women aged between 32 and 34 developed similar symptoms within 10 to 12.5 hours after eating the same dish from the restaurant on November 22.

The center reminded citizens to maintain personal, food and environmental hygiene so as to prevent food-borne diseases.

The link above has a list of outbreaks investigations being managed by FDA’s CORE Response Teams. The investigations are in a variety of stages, meaning that some outbreaks have limited information, and others may be near completion.


A public health advisory will be issued for outbreak investigations that have resulted in specific, actionable steps for consumers to take to protect themselves. Please direct your attention to those pages for the most up to date information on the investigation and for consumer protection information.






Outbreaks of Foodborne Illness


Note: Not all recalls and alerts result in an outbreak of foodborne illness. Check recent Food Recalls and Safety Alerts.






Outbreak investigations that do not result in specific, actionable steps for consumers may or may not conclusively identify a source or reveal any contributing factors. If a source and/or contributing factors are identified that could inform future prevention, FDA commits to providing a summary of those findings.
