Food safety officials inspect 100 sweet units on third day of drive, issue notices to 15

In a tragic incident in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, five members of a family, including three children, died after reportedly consuming noodles for dinner on Friday night. Initially, police suspected food poisoning as the cause of death, but a food safety officer from the Hindustan Times reports that no contamination was found during an examination of the food packets recovered from the family's home.

Food Safety Officer OP Singh stated that no suspicious items or expired products were found, and there were no symptoms typically associated with food poisoning. The absence of such symptoms has raised suspicions about the cause of the deaths, leading investigators to suspect poisoning. The exact circumstances surrounding the deaths remain unclear, and further investigation is ongoing.
