The pupils, from Year One to Year Six, started vomiting and purging 30 minutes after drinking the milk during recess at about 10am yesterday.
School authorities, which stopped the media from entering the compound, alerted the Health Department, which rushed teams to the school.
One of the pupils said he had to run to the toilet after drinking the milk.
“I vomited three times when I was in the toilet and purged twice. After I returned to my class, several friends also suffered similar pains. My teacher quickly took us to another room,” he said at his house near here.
According to the boy, affected pupils were given jabs and medication and remained in school until 1.20pm.
State Women, Family, Health and Community Development Committee Chairman Dr. Robia Kosai said cases of food poisoning in schools should be resolved fast.
“We want the Health Department and those related with food supplied at all schools to ensure all food is fresh and clean,” she added.
Opinion : People who supply foods have to, must maintain the foods is clean and avoid getting germs so that no one suffered from sickness. I hope Dr. Robia Kosai would solve this problem carefully and fair.
