Second poisoning scandal, company 'washes hands': It's the fault

The catering company "SORI-AL" has reacted after the second case of poisoning that occurred today at the Security Academy, where 60 trainees presented to the hospital with symptoms of poisoning, suspected to have come from food.

In its statement, the company disclaims responsibility, raising suspicions that some of the trainees may have consumed food brought from outside the contracted supply system, describing this as an element that should be part of the investigation.

At the same time, "SORI-AL" defends its reputation by stating that it prepares and distributes over 1,000 food rations per day and that it has been operating for more than 23 years in the catering sector for public institutions.

The company blames the Security Academy for the lack of basic hygiene and sanitation conditions.

"This is the second time that such an episode has been reported in a very short period of time. Precisely for this reason, even after the May event, the "SORI-AL" Company Sh.pk took increased control and monitoring measures of the process of production, transport, distribution and consumption of food, strengthening self-control and supervision at every link in the food chain.

In this context, we call on the responsible institutions of the Security Academy to, in addition to investigating this event, strengthen monitoring of compliance with the rules for food consumption within the institution, ensuring that food products from uncontrolled sources are not introduced and consumed.

"Also, from the monitoring and verifications carried out by our staff during the provision of the service, it has been found that the process of consuming food takes place in conditions where some basic elements of hygienic and sanitary conditions are missing, such as the possibility of washing hands with warm water and detergent before consuming meals. It has also been observed that in many cases students show up to consume food immediately after finishing training," the company's statement says.

This is the second time that the scandal has been repeated, as in May of this year, 52 Academy students were poisoned after consuming lunch served by "SORI-AL".
