130 Taken Ill After Consuming Food At Wedding Feast In Kerala

As many as 130 people have been admitted to various hospitals in the district following suspected food poisoning at a marriage function, health officials said here on Friday.

They said the 27 people, who consumed food at a marriage feast organised at Kalady near Edappal on Wednesday evening, have been hospitalised in Maranchery, Kalady, and Ponnani. However, none of them are said to be in a critical state.

Those who ate food at the reception organised by the groom’s family, sought treatment a day after they developed the symptoms of food poisoning like fever, diarrhoea, and vomiting, they added.
