In the Krasnoyarsk region of Russia, a tragic incident occurred when four children died due to dumplings poisoning. On September 20, a family of six people living in the village of Krasna Sopka prepared dinner from dumplings and chicken purchased at a local store, the cursorinfo portal reported.
Medical care and consequences
After dinner, all family members felt symptoms of poisoning and sought medical help. Unfortunately, two children died on September 21: a six-year-old girl and a thirteen-year-old boy. Two more sisters, aged 11 and 12, died later in the hospital. The children’s parents are currently receiving treatment, and the mother is nine months pregnant.
The quality of the products is questionable
Rosselkhoznadzor reported that the owner of the store where the products were purchased purchased semi-finished products without proper veterinary documents. This raises serious questions about the quality control of products in a region where such incidents can threaten people’s lives and health.
Investigation and probable causes of poisoning
Investigators pointed to the possibility that the children had prepared the dumplings themselves and accidentally added a poison for flies, which was kept in the kitchen. This incident highlights the urgent need to improve food safety controls in the region.
Conclusions and recommendations
This case points to serious problems with food quality and safety in Krasnoyarsk Krai. It is important that local authorities take urgent action to improve food control and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
