Two contracts worth 333 million pesos and mandatory analyses: what is known about the company in charge of the cafeteria with salmonella at the General Hospital of Mexico

A gastroenteritis outbreak caused by salmonella has affected 135 medical residents and high-specialty doctors at the Hospital General de México 'Dr. Eduardo Liceaga'. While the Secretariat of Health has officially reported that all affected personnel are in stable condition, medical staff have publicly challenged this assessment by sharing photographic evidence suggesting a more severe reality regarding the health status of those hospitalized.

The hospital's dining services are operated by Restaurantes Grogi, S.A. de C.V., a company that currently holds two contracts with public institutions totaling over 333 million pesos. The incident has prompted scrutiny regarding the oversight of these food service contracts and the mandatory health analysis protocols required for the facility's operations.
