According to the service, ten children were poisoned with salmonellosis. On August 17, 2025, a group of 34 children arrived at the hotel and recreational complex 'Carpathian Comfort'. Ten of them showed signs of food poisoning, as they were staying at the 'Carpathians' hotel.

The investigation showed that the causative agent was Salmonella enteritidis, which was found in dishes with chicken fillet. Specialists identified violations of sanitary standards, non-compliance with cooking technology, and the absence of separation zones for products. As a result, the production of food in the establishments was temporarily suspended, and both entities were fined.

It is worth noting that the administration of the 'Carpathians' hotel refused to cooperate with the investigation, but the management of 'Carpathian Comfort' assisted the inspectors' work.

The victims are in the hospital, where they are receiving medical assistance and undergoing tests to determine the cause of the illness.

Summary:In Lviv Oblast, ten children were poisoned with salmonellosis during their stay in hotel and recreational complexes due to violations of sanitary standards and careless food production.
