The outlet, located at Caltex, has been drawing scrutiny after several individuals, including children, sought medical treatment after consuming drinks from the establishment. Health officials stated that those affected by the suspected food poisoning are currently under observation. Samples from the outlet will be sent for testing to determine the cause of the reported illness. The complaints stem from an incident on September 21, 2026, when seven members of a Kannur family reportedly consumed drinks from the outlet and subsequently fell ill. They sought treatment at the Kolachery primary health centre and later reported the cases to the Health department.",
