I would like to know that if anyone was to get food poisoning , which hospital do we go to ? Who can take care of the sick person properly and professionally? Surely recovery from food poisoning is certain if proper treatment is given at the time of admission!!!!!!

Food poisoning is always a threat in restaurants which have part time and untrained staff handling food. Added to this is the food itself, the storage facilities and handling in preparation. Notwithstanding good practices in food preparation, Herbal-Active is a natural antimicrobial which could reduce the risk of high microbial loads on fresh produce, meats and seafood and also in the kitchen itself. Is it not time that food service operations examine the opportunity of natural solutions to reducing the risk of poisoning? 76 million cases in the US last year suggest that it needs to be addressed.

We used to frequently order food from this restaurant but off late their service and quality of food has not been up to the mark. the police should investigate this well and punish the culprits severely for taking the lives of 2 innocent children.

the police say they have sealed the restaurant. i stay just round the corner of the restaurant...there is a sticker which reads 'Shop closed for maintenance. Opening shortly' what the heck. i think the police must look into this well enough or else all of us would look like jokers while they (the shop management)sit there and have a hearty laugh.

I agree with all the comments mentioned below. It is sick and pathetic and really sad to see how authorities are taking this case into consideration! I wonder how they would feel if God forbid, their beloved was a victim of stale food, how would they react to such a situation. I believe this isn't the first case that I have heard about NMC, what is it with these people? It doesn't take a genius to figure out how hot the weather is and will be in the coming days, shouldn't restaurant owners take extra extra preventive measures to make sure their food is safe? Shouldn't they re-check and re-do the maintenance of their machine's? If they haven't then they should act NOW!
