Скачать или смотреть Taitung snail dumpling poisoning death case closed｜Taiwan News

Back in September four people died in Taitung after eating millet dumplings containing foraged snails. More than three months later, the cause of the food poisoning cluster has been found. It turns out the cook had accidentally mixed millet grain intended for cooking with millet intended for sowing. The latter contained a highly toxic pesticide called terbufos.

The millet containing pesticide had been gift from a local friend, but ill-intent has been ruled out, as exchanging grains is common practice in the victim’s village. In addition, no criminal motive has been found regarding insurance or property claims. There was also no evidence that any individual in particular had distributed the dumplings or encouraged the victims to eat them.
