He says the suspected products have been removed from known retail locations in York Region, as local public health continues to work with provincial and federal partners to limit exposure to the product.and four were treated in intensive care on Sunday within about an hour of eating the same chicken dish from Delight Restaurant and BBQ.
At this point in the investigation, he says there is a "strong indication" the illness was caused by a spice product contaminated with aconite, a toxin sometimes called called wolfsbane or monkshood.
