Over
100 students of an educational institution at Thalassery and some staff members
were taken to hospital on Wednesday after they complained of symptoms of food
poisoning.
The
students of the Nettur Technical Training Foundation Institute were brought to
the government hospital at Thalassery on Wednesday morning after they
complained of bowel uneasiness.
The
illness was apparently caused by food poisoning. All those who took ill and
were brought to the hospital had eaten biriyani cooked on the institute campus
on November 5 in connection with a sports meet of the institute.
When
contacted, District Medical Officer K.J. Reena said that none of the food
poisoning cases reported at the hospital was serious.
She
said that only 10 students were admitted at the hospital for observation.
Others were treated as out-patients.
NTTF
institute authorities said that biriyani had been made on the campus by an
outside cook on the occasion of the sports event.
1500
took the food
Nearly
1,500 people, mostly students, had taken the non-vegetarian food. They said
that food inspectors visited the campus in the morning to examine the vessels
used for preparing the food.
