Food-related toxin -- Denmark
A type of lectin in red kidney beans was behind an outbreak in Denmark earlier this year [2020]. Poisoning left 45 people sick, including 24 on one day, in late April [2020]. The outbreak was limited to a catering company delivering food for another business in the Copenhagen area.
The outbreak was caused by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) in frozen red kidney beans from Turkey, via Sweden.
