Major Street Food Probe After Tourist’s Toxic Seaweed Death

Chef Sandwich
A quick update on my last blog about the tragic death of New Zealand backpacker Sarah Carter, who died after eating toxic seaweed at a street food stall in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Health officials are launching a full-scale investigation of food outlets in the city’s famous Night Bazaar, where Sarah, 23, (pictured centre) and her two friends Amanda Eliason, 24, (left) and Emma Langlands, 23, (right) ate. Amanda, who also ate the seaweed, had emergency heart surgery and is now believed to be out of danger. Emma, who ordered a different meal from the stall, suffered food poisoning but is not seriously ill.
