Altogether, 18 people were diagnosed with an intestinal infection at the "Positivus" festival. An epidemiological investigation has established that 17 of them had consumed products sold by TurKebab, and no other risk factor common for all these cases has been established.
All the food poisoning victims complained of nausea, headache and weakness in four to five hours after consuming chicken and beef kebabs sold by TurKebab.
Furthermore, there were no new food poisoning cases after the violations in the TurKebab tent at the "Positivus" festival were eliminated, added Sevcenko.
