Tainted milk kills 3 and sickens 37 in Gansu

THREE children died from food poisoning yesterday in Pingliang, northwest Gansu Province and 35 others were hospitalized after they drank contaminated milk.

Most of the 35 were children under 14 now being treated at two hospitals in Pingliang City, according to Xinhua, citing the local government and health bureau.

Initial investigation showed their poisoning symptoms were caused by sodium nitrite in the milk, Xinhua reported today.

The victims were admitted to the Pingliang No. 2 Hospital and the People's Hospital. They are in stable condition.

Two dairy farms which supplied the contaminated milk have been closed down and police have placed their mangers under control.

Investigation into the accident is going on.
