Italian health officials were cited today as saying that some 700 school children in the Turin area were treated in hospitals today in what they said was an outbreak of food poisoning. The children, from eight kindergarten and elementary schools in the town of Moncalieri and five schools from the town of Giaveno, had all eaten food provided by the same supplier at lunch on Tuesday. The bried notes that the food poisoning was believed to have been linked to a tuna and sweetcorn salad eaten in area schools on Tuesday. Hi, all and sorry for my rusty english. Practically all the children consuming the food have fall in foodborne illness.
Nothing is know at the moment about the involved foodborne pathogen.
I will give more information in the next days by foodsafe mail-list. U.K., after being admitted to hospital last Friday.
