A 52-year-old Italian musician, Luigi Di Sarno, died after eating a broccoli and sausage sandwich from a street vendor in Diamante suspected to be contaminated with botulinum toxin. Sarno reportedly collapsed soon after consuming the sandwich. Nine others were also hospitalised. Authorities linked the incident to a botulism outbreak, prompting a nationwide broccoli recall in Italy.
