In the case where five persons fell ill after consuming a mouth freshener containing dry ice following dinner at a Gurugram restaurant, the Food Safety Department has cancelled the licence of La Forestta restaurant. The establishment, situated in Sector 90, was subsequently sealed.

Gurugram Food Safety Officer Ramesh Chauhan said the restaurant was given 15 days to respond to the matter. However, no response was received within the stipulated timeframe. Consequently, action was taken, resulting in the cancellation of the restaurant’s licence.
