Digital Desk: A birthday celebration turned tragic for a family in Punjab when a chocolate cake, ordered online for their 10-year-old daughter Manvi, led to devastating consequences. The entire family fell ill shortly after consuming the cake, ultimately resulting in Manvi's untimely death.
Investigations revealed that the cake was baked with a high concentration of saccharine, an artificial sweetener. Dr. Vijay Jindal, the District Health Officer, confirmed that while saccharine is commonly used in small amounts, its excessive presence can significantly elevate blood glucose levels, posing severe health risks.
The distressing incident has prompted authorities to take swift action against the bakery responsible. A FIR has been filed, and penalties are expected to be imposed on the bakery owner.
