January

  • January 10 - A mass poisoning at a funeral in Mozambique involves beer that was deliberately contaminated with crocodile bile leaving at least 56 dead and 146 hospitalized.[1]
  • January 12 - The death toll from the poisoned beer rises to at least 69, with 169 in hospital.[2] Reports also question whether the poison involved was actually crocodile bile; several studies have indicated that the substance is relatively harmless. The competing theory is that the actual poison may have been cardiac glycosides found in local plants.[3]
  • January 13 - The death toll from contaminated beer in the Mozambique rises to at least 72.[4]
