Poisoning cases in Beirut lead to closure of Nadini restaurant and sealing of a Raouche warehouse

Cases of suspected food-related poisoning were recorded in Beirut, prompting Beirut Governor Marwan Abboud to issue a decision closing the Nadini restaurant based on a notification from the Ministry of Public Health and to order the sealing with red wax of the Rehamco warehouse in Raouche. This coincided with demands to close violating restaurants and warehouses, pending laboratory test results.

📍 Where things stand: The seals were lifted from the restaurant's main entrance while the kitchen remains closed and the ban on operation continues until laboratory results are issued, while the Rehamco warehouse remains sealed.
