Food Poisoning at Moroccan Wedding Sickens Over 150 Guests

The toll has gone from 96 to 152 people. The tragedy began last Saturday when several people presented symptoms of food poisoning, such as acute abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea after consuming a "chicken à la daghmira" dish during a wedding dinner.

The victims of this food poisoning were admitted to the emergency department of the Mohammed V regional hospital in El Jadida to receive first aid. Some cases were referred to private clinics.

The local authorities have launched their investigations to determine the causes of the incident. Analyzes have thus been carried out in the laboratory to identify the source of the food poisoning. The "chicken à la daghmira" dish would be the origin of the food poisoning.
