"Bug in cakes" poisons 300 children
-----------------------------------
Nearly 300 preschool children in a Belgrade suburb have fallen sick after
eating salmonella-contaminated food at their nursery schools, medical
authorities said on Sat 13 Dec 2003.
The Belgrade Health Care Institute said 53 children have been admitted to
hospital since Fri 12 Dec 2003 out of 279 who showed symptoms of salmonella
poisoning. Also sick were 28 nursery school employees, the institute said.
None was in a life-threatening condition.
Several day care centers in the Belgrade area of Zemun were hit by the
sickness. The food in all the centers was prepared in a central kitchen,
and the children were probably infected after eating cream cakes made of
fresh eggs that contained salmonella, doctors at the institute said.
