Another 29 people who ate at the restaurant in the three days before her death also developed food poisoning.

A woman who died after eating at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Spain may have suffered food poisoning, a local court said on Friday.

The 46-year-old woman died on Sunday after dining with her family at the RiFF restaurant in the coastal city of Valencia.

The woman’s husband & 12-year-old son suffered food poisoning after eating at the restaurant but “they have made a good recovery”, the court said in a statement.

Another 29 people who ate at the restaurant in the three days before her death also developed food poisoning, it said.

But “their symptoms were very mild, including mostly vomiting” & they made a good recovery, it said.

“The investigating magistrate is waiting for a forensic report & test results from the autopsy.”

A court spokesman told AFP nobody has been charged.

RiFF has been closed “until the causes of what happened are established”, the restaurant’s founder, German chef Bernd H Knoller, said in a statement.

He said initial tests found the restaurant “complied with all health regulations” & that the restaurant was cooperating with authorities to carry out further tests.

RiFF was opened by Knoller in 2001 & awarded a Michelin star in 2009.

It features a 135 euro ($153) tasting menu including black truffle, imperial caviar & lobster. Source Link
