More than 50 people came down with food poisoning after attending a wedding in Iraq.
Spoiled food was served at the celebration in Hawijah, Kirkuk province, officials said on Wednesday.
The situation was “under control” by Thursday morning, Ziyad Khalaf, director general of the Kirkuk Health Department, told the state-owned Iraqi News Agency.
“The cases are mild to moderate,” he added.
Some local media organizations said the incident took place at a wedding celebration and said at least 20 people had been taken to hospital for treatment.
