A TOTAL of 23 preschool children were sent to hospital following what authorities suspect was a food poisoning case at a kindergarten in east China's Jiangxi Province on Tuesday, the local government said yesterday.
The children began vomiting about an hour after eating a lunch of rice and jelly noodles at the Red Star Kindergarten in Ducheng Township in the city of Gao'an, the city government said in a press release.
It said the children also had biscuits as a morning snack.
As of 9am yesterday, 16 of the children were still under observation at the People's Hospital in Gao'an and seven others were at a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital. All were in a stable condition.
Several suspected food poisoning cases in China's schools have been reported since the start of the new semester on September 1.
Authorities in northern China's Hebei Province are investigating two cases that affected a total of 162 students.
Suspected food poisoning put 27 primary school children in Yutian County of Tangshan in hospital from September 1-6.
Meanwhile, contaminated water has been blamed for sickening 135 middle school students in Longhua County.
