| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. According to Wikipedia: Shawarma (/ʃəˈwɑːrmə/; Arabic: شاورما) is a Middle Eastern dish that originated in the Levant region of the Arab world during the Ottoman Empire,consisting of meat that is cut into thin slices, stacked in an inverted cone, and roasted on a slow-turning vertical spit. Traditionally made with lamb or mutton, it may also be made with chicken, turkey, beef, or veal.Oh, Gyro. A late night, post pub crawl, London street vendor delight. Some English food I do miss. by Maria Orlova [REGNUM] Tetyushi is a popular tourist town on the Volga in Tatarstan. Guests from all over Russia come here to admire the views - there are no problems with this in Tetyushi. However, there are problems with public catering: according to Yandex. Maps, there is only one cafe in the town, Nur. Its rating is 1.6 stars out of 5. Many users are unhappy with the service and the long wait for orders. And it was here that the shawarma was bought, after eating which an 11-year-old girl died. On July 23, Tetyushi resident Alexey bought shawarma in Nur and treated his daughter to it. A few hours later, the girl began vomiting and had a sharp stomach ache. She was given medicine. Her condition seemed to improve, but the next night the girl felt very bad again. Her parents called an ambulance. The girl suffered in hospital for five days: first in the Central Regional Hospital of the city of Tetyushi, then in the Children's Regional Clinical Hospital in Kazan. It was not possible to save the child - on July 27, the 11-year-old girl passed away. "Forensic medical procedures are being carried out, the cause of death is being established. The Tatarstan Ministry of Health expresses condolences to the girl's family and friends," the press release from the Tatarstan Ministry of Health reports.
The Nur café is currently sealed, and a report has been drawn up against the owner, individual entrepreneur Razikov. The materials on the inspection results have already been submitted to the court. A criminal case has been opened under the article "Provision of services that do not meet safety requirements." "Mo didn't have refrigeration, and neither do we!" The Telegram channel of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Tatarstan published a video that was filmed inside the Nur cafe: at the entrance there is a sign saying “Sanitary day”, the cafe is closed, and investigators are working inside. An epidemiological investigation was conducted, including sampling of food products, swabs, and examination of cafe employees.
In 11 food samples and seven surface swabs, specialists identified coliform bacteria. User reviews of the establishment on the same Yandex.Maps confirm the conclusions of Rospotrebnadzor. "The atmosphere there is like in a horror movie. The order was made quickly, in about 5 minutes. I ordered a regular shawarma, it turned out to have small bones and cartilage. The juice had black particles, and there was a fly at the bottom. The price is cheap, the shawarma cost 180 rubles + juice 45 rubles per glass. I do not advise anyone to go here," is one of the typical reviews. The dead girl's father, Alexey, told journalists from Tatarstan that his daughter had never complained of stomach pains before. However, a few days before the girl's poisoning, her brother had eaten shawarma in this cafe - he was fine.
In a conversation with the Regnum news agency, Moscow-based general practitioner Tatyana Smolenskaya urges people to wait for the results of pathological examinations, but already now, judging by the nature of the girl’s poisoning, Smolenskaya is leaning towards the shawarma version. "The fatal role was played by the fact that they called an ambulance too late. Ordinary people, not being doctors, always think that if a person feels better after vomiting, they were given activated carbon, then the danger has passed. But salmonellosis or staph infection continues to develop," the doctor says. Perhaps, the interlocutor of IA Regnum suggests, the girl had a weakened immune system - at 11 years old, hormonal changes in the body begin, and due to their age, children are especially susceptible to the development of immunopathological reactions. "Another person would have just had a stomach ache, but here severe intoxication set in. In general, I will remind you once again that shawarma in the heat is a dangerous dish. Especially if the cafe was unsanitary," the doctor comments on the tragedy. The Tetyushi incident is not the first time this summer that consumers have suffered from shawarma. In mid-July, 17 migrant workers sought medical help with signs of food poisoning after eating shawarma bought at retail outlets in the north of Moscow, on Dmitrovskoye Shosse. All were taken to hospital with a diagnosis of salmonellosis. In July, it became known that the Russian quality system was preparing to introduce a GOST for shawarma. Roskachestvo representatives conducted inspections of 29 major shawarma brands and only one of them did not record any violations. In addition, in June in Bashkiria, after almost a year of proceedings, the “shawarma trial” was completed: local entrepreneurs were ordered to pay 800 thousand rubles for moral damages caused to a resident of Salavat after he was poisoned by shawarma in a cafe. Back in April 2023, a man bought a shawarma and felt unwell shortly after eating it. An ambulance took the victim to the intensive care unit of a city hospital in critical condition. From there, he was discharged with a diagnosis of "severe acute tubulointerstitial nephritis against the background of salmonellosis caused by Salmonella enteritidis, hemodialysis, tracheostomy, tracheal decannulation." The court partially satisfied the victim's claim. In a conversation with the Regnum news agency, the man said that he had problems with his lungs, and the victim, according to him, had found it more difficult to remember information, which created significant problems for him at work. In general, doctors offer the main working solution to avoid becoming a victim of shawarma and other fast food: eat it only in trusted places. If there are none, the recipe is even simpler - do not eat at all, wait until you get home. | |||
