Authorities in Russia have taken action following a suspected botulism outbreak that has resulted in dozens of hospitalizations across four regions. The outbreak has been linked to ready-to-eat salads produced by a popular delivery service.
The Investigative Committee of Russia has detained two top managers of the delivery service and the head of a company that produces canned beans as part of a criminal inquiry. The individuals are being investigated on charges related to the production and distribution of products that violate safety standards.
