Overview
- Carlos Galván fell ill with his partner after eating a tortilla from La Ideal in La Plata and later died at Hospital San Martín.
- Lab tests reported by local outlets detected salmonella in samples tied to the case, pointing to likely food poisoning.
- City food-safety inspectors ordered a preventive closure of the shop, then cited it for reopening in violation and shut it again.
- Prosecutor Fernando Martín Padován opened a cause‑of‑death inquiry and ordered an autopsy with forensic analyses to confirm any link to the food.
- La Ideal publicly denied responsibility and cited a clean inspection, while coverage differs on whether a negligent‑homicide case exists, and the owner remains jailed in an earlier sexual‑abuse case.
