Riyadh Food Poisoning Outbreak Traced Back To Mayonnaise Brand
Saudi’s Ministry of Municipal, Rural Affairs and Housing just recently announced that a Saudi Food and Drug Authority laboratory test had found clostridium botulinum in a Bon Tum mayonnaise brand used by a famous Saudi food chain.
The bacteria caused severe food poisoning to more than 30 people in the capital
Since the bacterium was discovered in a Bon Tum factory, the ministry has collaborated with the Saudi FDA and other authorities to suspend the distribution of the mayonnaise product and removed it from markets and food facilities across all cities in the Kingdom.
