Seven people who ate at restaurants in Falun reported food poisoning to the municipal environmental department.
“The meat tasted sour, and the beets smelled of rot,” wrote one informant who fell ill the next night.
Reports of suspected food poisoning cases come from three different restaurants.
The family ate together and the children chose different foods. The adults developed stomach pains during the night. The symptoms lasted for two days.
The father writes: “The taste and smell of meat is sour, the taste of beets and the smell of mold.”
Three people in another group became ill in the morning, eight hours after dinner when everyone ate shrimp.

Another report comes from two people who ate fast food in the middle of the night and were sick in the morning. Both made the same selection from the menu.

We always contact companies.
This information prompted the municipality's environmental department to take action.
“We always contact businesses when we receive suspected food poisoning and further investigate their procedures and restraint during inspections,” Moa Elvermark Galloway, a food inspector, wrote in response to the newspaper.
Officials from each restaurant said no additional guests reported food poisoning. The food served was fresh. Two of the informants traveled extensively, eating at multiple restaurants, and could have been infected elsewhere, according to the Department of Environmental Protection’s assessment. The bottom line is that the illnesses could not be linked to the kitchens.
