15 primary school students in Quang Nam poisoned after eating yogurt

On October 25, the leader of the People's Committee of Dai Loc district (Quang Nam province) said that a poisoning incident had just occurred in the district, causing 15 primary school students to be hospitalized.

Accordingly, at around 1:00 p.m. on October 24, after their nap, nearly 300 students of Nguyen Ngoc Binh Primary School (Dai Hiep Commune, Dai Loc District) were given yogurt and eaten at the school's boarding area.

About 30 minutes later, 15 students showed symptoms of stomach ache, vomiting, and fatigue.

Afterwards, the students with signs of food poisoning were taken to Dai Hiep Commune Health Station for examination and then transferred to the Northern Mountainous Region General Hospital of Quang Nam for emergency treatment.

According to the Northern Mountainous Region General Hospital of Quang Nam, 15 students admitted to the hospital all showed symptoms of vomiting and abdominal pain.

The health of the 15 children has gradually stabilized. It is expected that today (October 25), some of them will be discharged from the hospital. The remaining cases, especially the 2 students with enteritis, continue to be monitored and are expected to be discharged early next week.

After the incident, Dai Loc district leaders directed the district Medical Center to collect yogurt samples for testing.

Currently, authorities have not yet determined the exact cause of the incident in which 15 students showed signs of poisoning and had to be hospitalized.

For now, Dai Loc district authorities require the school to keep all food samples from yesterday so that authorities can continue to investigate and clarify.
