Pupils poisoned in EAST CHINA school canteen leave hospital - (ENGLISH NEWS SERVICE)

November 19, 2007 – 7:17 pm

NANJING — All of the 83 pupils hospitalized by food poisoning in a school canteen in east China a week ago have been discharged, and most of them have gone back to school, local health authorities said on Monday.
A preliminary investigation has revealed the food poisoning was caused by a diarrhea-inducing bacteria that contaminated the food served up at the dining hall of Hebin Primary School in Jintan City, Jiangsu Province.
But the source of the bacteria has yet to be determined, a spokesman from the city health bureau said.
