Two Children Die After Eating Instant Noodles in Lahore
A tragedy occurred in the Manawan area on Wednesday when two young siblings, Maryam and Rafay, died shortly after eating instant noodles. The incident has raised concerns about food safety and potential toxic substances in food products.
A police official reported that the children’s mother had bought two packs of instant noodles from a shop in Baghbanpura bazaar. After she prepared the noodles at home, both Maryam and Rafay’s health rapidly worsened.
The children were taken to a local hospital, but despite the medical staff’s efforts, they were pronounced dead on arrival. Preliminary investigations suggest that the noodles may have been contaminated or poisonous.
In response, police have been sent to the Baghbanpura bazaar to investigate the shop where the noodles were purchased. Authorities aim to identify and seize the product batch to prevent further harm. The police official mentioned that the food item purchased might have been adulterated or poisonous.
When asked about the potential widespread risk, the police official noted that no other complaints about noodles from the same company have been reported in the city, suggesting the incident might be isolated. However, authorities are continuing their investigation.
Despite the incident’s severity, the grieving parents are reluctant to file a formal complaint. The reasons for their hesitation are unclear, but the police are continuing their investigation to ensure public safety.
