Contaminated cider has killed at least 29 people in Russia and sickened dozens of others.
The death toll from drinking contaminated cider in the western Russian region of Ulyanovsk rose to at least 29, with a further 61 people falling ill, authorities said Tuesday.
The ministry said four people were"very seriously ill" with another 30 classed as serious in one of the worst such cases the country has known.issued on Wednesday, the ministry said the beverage had been branded as"Mr. Cider" and asked residents to report any information about its sale. Victims were hospitalized in clinics across the region after governor Alexei Russkikh said Monday on Telegram that they fell sick after drinking"Mister Cider" produced in the Samara region.
Such cases are not uncommon in Russia, where cheap alcohol substitutes are a persistent problem, particularly in rural areas with very low standards of living.
