There are six suspected food poisoning cases in Mafraq, allegedly in relation to a takeaway restaurant, according to a medical source Thursday.

The source told Roya that the people arrived at the Talal Military Hospital, saying that they had eaten food from a restaurant and developed symptoms of food poisoning.

Another source confirmed that a restaurant in the governorate was suspended from operating due to violations.

The source added that if it was found that the food poisoning was caused by the restaurant's food, legal measures will be taken against the concerned management.
