Nagpur: Ten people were hospitalized for food poisoning late on Wednesday night after consuming sev (snacks) made with singhada atta (water chestnut flour). Another incident involving the same food item was reported earlier this month. All ten patients, employees of a pharmaceutical company in Butibori MIDC, experienced symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and abnormal body jerks within hours of consuming the sev from their company canteen on Wednesday. Kingsway Hospital’s Dr Harshwardhan Bora, said, “All cases are toxin related. The food they had must have been infected by a fungus called Aspergillus flavus.
