According to the report of Nguyen Quy Duc Secondary School (Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi) sent to the Department of Education and Training of Nam Tu Liem District about the incident of 11 students buying strange candy to eat and showing signs of poisoning, at noon on November 29, the Medical Department of Nguyen Quy Duc Secondary School received 10 students of class 6A4 and 1 student of class 7A5 for examination with symptoms of stomachache and nausea.
Many schools in Hanoi posted pictures and warned parents not to let their children buy and use food of unknown origin.
The school also said that these students did not eat lunch or take a nap at school. During the day, they bought a type of candy of unknown origin, with a green wrapper and Chinese characters on it, and shared it among themselves. About 45 minutes after eating the candy, all of the students showed signs of fatigue, headaches, and nausea.
Immediately, the school took the students to Dai Mo Ward Health Station for examination and health monitoring. Up to now, the health of all 11 students is stable.
Dai Mo Ward People's Committee also directed the ward police to coordinate with other units to inspect the store where the students bought candy and confiscated 66 blue packages with pictures of bears, peaches, strawberries, and dried apricots, with Chinese characters written on the outside packaging. The products are being checked for quality.
Mr. Tran The Cuong, Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, said that immediately after receiving the information, the department directed the Department of Education and Training of all 30 districts, towns and cities across the city to request schools to strengthen management, ensure food safety and hygiene in schools and propagate to parents and students not to buy food of unknown origin.
The Hanoi Department of Education and Training also said that recently, forces have checked food stalls in front of school gates to detect food of unknown origin that affects students' health.
The Department of Education and Training has directed schools to request staff, teachers and students to proactively detect establishments around the school gate that sell products and food of unknown origin and immediately report to local authorities for timely prevention measures.
According to Mr. Cuong, the issue of food safety for school students has been thoroughly communicated to educational institutions many times. In particular, the contents that need special attention are boarding kitchens and detecting food of unknown origin around schools.
Many schools in Hanoi have asked parents to cooperate with the school, remind and not let their children buy food of unknown origin and unsafe.
