Following the unfortunate passing of 19-year-old Prathamesh Bhokse after consuming chicken shawarma from a street stall in Mumbai, police have apprehended two vendors, Anand Kamble and Mohammad Ahmed Raiza Shaikh. The vendors face charges under sections 304 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. This incident highlights a worrying trend of food poisoning cases associated with the consumption of shawarma in India. Earlier in 2023, a young man from Kochi succumbed to suspected food poisoning after eating shawarma in Kerala. Another incident in April 2022 resulted in the death of one person and the hospitalization of over 50 individuals after consuming shawarma at a Kerala eatery. Furthermore, a 14-year-old girl in Tamil Nadu tragically died in September 2022 after eating chicken shawarma. These incidents underscore the importance of food safety and proper hygiene practices in food preparation and handling. Shawarma, a popular Middle Eastern dish, involves the slow cooking of thinly sliced meat on a vertical rotisserie. The cooked meat is shaved off and served in flatbreads with various toppings and condiments. To prevent food poisoning, individuals should maintain proper hand hygiene and thoroughly cook all meats, poultry, and seafood to appropriate internal temperatures. Avoiding cross-contamination and exercising caution with leftovers are also crucial. These measures can help reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses associated with the consumption of shawarma and other street food items.
