Six People Sick in Jordan Food Poisoning

Six family members suffered from food poisoning on Sunday after eating shawarma meals from a restaurant in Jordan’s northeastern Mafraq Governorate.

The Jordanian News Agency (Petra) quoted Governor Yasser Al-Adwan as saying that the sick were transferred to Mafraq Government Hospital for treatment.

The restaurant was closed as a precaution, he pointed out.

Late last month, the Jordanian Ministry of Health said that a five-year-old child died and around 700 people were hospitalized with a mass food poisoning after eating shawarma at a restaurant in Balqa Governorate, northwest of the capital, Amman.

Jordanian Minister of Health Dr. Saad Jaber revealed that the source of poisoning in a group of restaurants is the imported meat which is delivered with the meals. A total of 20 facilities were shut down in Salt, Sweileh and Ain Al-Basha Brigade, in addition to one restaurant in Amman, as a precaution, he noted, until the results of laboratory tests are issued.

Jaber called on the public prosecutor to take all legal measures and hold accountable those responsible for the poisoning.

Al-Ohali emphasized that "this strategic participation, occurring for the first time in China, aims to enhance the Kingdom's global presence in the military industries sector and to solidify its position as one of the fastest-growing economies among the G20 nations. Furthermore, it seeks to establish fruitful international partnerships to empower and develop the military industries sector, while also promoting the Kingdom's message of welcoming investors from around the world.
