Botulism Outbreak in Italy Causes Deaths and Hospitalizations from Contaminated Broccoli Sandwiches

Luigi Di Sarno, a 52-year-old artist, died in Italy after consuming a contaminated sausage and broccoli sandwich, likely infected with botulism from preserved broccoli in oil. The outbreak has led to the seizure of the food truck and recalls of contaminated products, with health authorities providing antidotes and emphasizing proper food handling to prevent such cases.
