The investigation into a food poisoning incident at Polam Kopitiam in Taipei’s Xinyi District unfolds as a 25-year-old chef denies responsibility, citing that all ingredients were provided by the owner. Tragically, two individuals have died and five others have fallen severely ill. The presence of Bongkrek acid in the victims’ bodies, as confirmed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, has heightened concerns. The chef, surnamed Hsu, who was temporarily working at the Xinyi branch, faces suspicions of manslaughter and violations of food safety regulations.
