Officials in the Indian city of Mumbai have, according to this story, stopped supplies of flavoured milk to schoolchildren after it was suspected of causing food poisoning.
The story says that about 50 children fell ill in two separate incidents, leading to the milk scheme being suspended in more than 1,000 of the city’s schools.
Police in the city are questioning a man who is alleged to have supplied milk to one of the schools affected.
Milk is provided to some 450,000 Mumbai children for nutritional reasons.
