Marwako, a fast-food eatery in Accra has been trending on Twitter after several Twitter users complained of getting food poisoning after eating there.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nThe Twitter tirade started after a user, Edward Elohim posted that the fast-food service had given him and several other people food poisoning.<\/p>\n
His statement was rehashed by several other users who have also accused the fast-food service of putting them in a similar situation since the weekend.<\/p>\n
Many have since been hospitalised with many of the alleged victims referencing the eatery\u2019s East Legon branch as the possible source of their discomfort.<\/p>\n
\nMarwako @Marwakofastfood gave me and many others in this hospital the worst food poisoning ever.<\/p>\n

\nYesterday dawn was a horror show for me. Vomiting, running and all that. I was then rushed to legon hospital where I was put on 2 bags of drip and some other medication. My friend also visited the hospital where he was put on 4 bags of drip. 4<\/p>\n

\nThis is crazy because I\u2019ve at least 5 children turn up at the ER since Sunday who went out to eat at Marwako over the weekend and they\u2019re all on admission https:\/\/t.co\/aHmOK9kUsE<\/p>\n

Some users therefore urged the Food and Drugs Authority to take action against the company.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, some affected customers have hinted at filing a class action suit against the fast food service.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nMarwako fast foods is yet to release a statement to address the concerns.<\/p>\n
\nHow Marwako is still in business after how that Lebanese supervisor physically assaulted a Ghanaian female employee is what baffles me.<\/p>\n
