Ron Simon and Associates Files the First Salmonella Lawsuit Against Aladdin Mediterranean Café in San Diego

SAN DIEGO, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the national food poisoning law firm of Ron Simon & Associates, along with The Gomez Trial Attorneys, filed the first Aladdin Mediterranean Café Salmonella Lawsuit in San Diego County, California.

A copy of the lawsuit is available upon request.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Daniel Meza and Nubia Munguia, who together consumed a lamb and chicken dish and other items at Aladdin Mediterranean Café on April 26, 2025. Within days, both began to suffer from diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and dehydration. Both were forced to seek medical attention, with Ms. Munguia requiring hospitalization. Both tested positive for salmonella, and are still recovering from the effects of salmonella poisoning.

The lawsuit comes after health officials from the San Diego County Public Health Department linked at least 14 confirmed illnesses, including five hospitalizations, to consumption of food from Aladdin Mediterranean Café in San Diego. As of now, most victims are believed to have eaten at the restaurant on either April 25^th or 26^th of this year.

While the specific food(s) contaminated with salmonella have not been identified, Aladdin Mediterranean Café has accrued at least seven violations for failing to properly maintain or regulate holding temperatures for the food it served in the past.

According to Ron Simon, the nationally renowned Salmonella food poisoning lawyer handling Mr. Meza and Ms. Munguia's cases, as well as the cases of several other Salmonella victims:

"Salmonella can be very dangerous to humans. Any consumer who ate at Aladdin Mediterranean Café in the last week of April, 2025 should immediately contact a medical professional if they are experiencing symptoms of a Salmonella infection."

He added: "Through this and other lawsuits we are going to make sure that all of the victims in this outbreak are fairly and fully compensated for their injuries, and that Aladdin Mediterranean Café takes steps to prevent this from ever happening again."
