The Head of the Preventive Health Department at the Farwaniya Hospital said there are reports that frozen products, particularly vegetables, coming from the Kingdom of Sweden contain harmful objects.
Al-Jarida citing a report sent to the Director of Farwaniya Hospital stated a letter received by the International Food Safety Network on February 16, 2022 states foreign objects (plastic pieces) were found inside frozen vegetables coming from the Kingdom of Sweden and said these products have already been distributed in Kuwait.
The letter called on the director of the hospital to circulate to report to all concerned departments fearing suspected stomach flu cases due to the consumption of such products and to promptly report any confirmed cases that may be discovered.
