After a 14-year-old girl passed away on Monday from food poisoning after consuming a chicken shawarma, a team of food safety officers conducted raids at 90 shawarma restaurants on Tuesday in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai district.

On Monday, the police reported that 13 other medical students who got ill after consuming non-vegetarian food from the same restaurant are currently under treatment.
