The activities of the Muhteshem Doner café in Tashkent have been temporarily suspended following a mass food poisoning incident that took place last week. According to the Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Wellbeing and Public Health, 23 people were admitted to city hospitals with signs of food poisoning between September 6 and 8.
Among the victims, 22 people were hospitalized at the Republican Center for Epidemiology, Microbiology, Infectious, and Parasitic Diseases, while one person was taken to Tashkent’s Infectious Diseases Hospital No. 4. Initial investigations revealed that all of the affected individuals had visited the Muhteshem Doner café on Niyozbek Yuli Street, where they consumed various dishes.
According to the Committee, the condition of the patients has improved thanks to the medical treatment provided. As of September 12, 13 people have been discharged from hospitals, and the remaining 10 are still receiving treatment. Their condition is assessed as satisfactory, and positive recovery dynamics have been observed.
Sanitary authorities in the city have temporarily suspended the operations of the Muhteshem Doner café to prevent further incidents. Samples of the leftover food were taken for laboratory testing. Preliminary results suggest that the cause of the poisoning may have been a sauce consumed by all the victims.
The Ministry of Health urges citizens to be cautious when choosing public dining places and to seek medical attention at the first signs of illness.
