UPDATE:ย Arizona Grill, one of Karachi’s leading eateries faced massive backlash after two minors passed away reportedly from food poisoning.
It was found that the children,ย Muhammad, 5 years, and his 1.5-year-old brother, Ahmed had dined at the eatery located at Zamzama and had candies at Chunky Monkey.
Medical reports from the case have now been shared. According to these reports, the children had consumedย substandard food which later resulted in food poisoning, eventually leading to their death the next day.
However, it is unclear if the unhygienic food was consumed at the eatery or the amusement park.
The sources have added that the final cause of death will also be shared with the media once theย microbiology report comes in.ย Earlier, the reports found no traces of food poisoning in samples collected at the residency.
Approximately, 60 food samples were collected and sent to the lab for tests and analysis following the demise of the minors. Sindh Food Authority also came across a huge amount of expired meat found at the eatery which was reportedly being disposed of.
