The ongoing botulism epidemic in Italy has claimed the life of a 45-year-old woman.
The fatality is the second blamed on the new food poisoning outbreak, the first being that of a 52-year-old artist, Luigi Di Sarno, who fell ill after eating a panini containing a broccoli-like vegetable from a food truck in the south of the country.
According to reports, 17 people have since been hospitalized, and another ten have been placed under investigation.
