The Cuban government denied on Wednesday the information circulating on social media regarding an alleged mass poisoning in Havana, supposedly caused by the sale of expired products taken from a container.

On the social network X, the government entity of the capital clarified that this is all false news.

He also urged the public to follow only official sources and not to spread such rumors, “the aim of which is to sow panic and distrust among citizens.”

A similar situation occurred in December 2023, when the authorities in Havana denied information circulating online about the alleged sale of expired food stolen from a container.

That time, the regime shared photos of a notice, which warned about a hypothetical container that had been disposed of and contained expired products that were stolen and being sold at low prices to quickly get rid of them.

The officialist portal Cubadebate echoed the government's response and recalled that the message about a supposed infestation of Arcor products with salmonella had already circulated in January 2020.
