McDonalds at Copenhagen’s central station had to close after 14 employees became acutely ill and spat, Danish reports TV2.
The incident occurred on Saturday evening and the guests were evacuated as a result of the disease outbreak.
– We received an alarm at 11:34 p.m. that people at the site had become ill and felt unwell. They vomited. And so we evacuated the restaurant, says Espen Godiksen at the Copenhagen Police.
Those who fell ill were quickly taken care of by medical personnel.
Many of them also appeared to be on the mend when they left the fast food restaurant, according to the channel.
The police suspect that the frying oil may have become too hot – something that resulted in smoke and fumes that can cause symptoms of illness.
The Danish Supervisory Authority will investigate the incident further.
