The Ministry of Health has launched an investigation into suspected food poisoning incidents at two daycare centers operating under the same management. The probe was initiated after several toddlers required hospitalization due to severe gastrointestinal symptoms.
According to official statements, the affected children exhibited symptoms including vomiting and diarrhea. Health inspectors have collected food samples from the facilities' kitchens for laboratory analysis to identify the potential pathogen responsible.
The ministry has not yet released the total number of children affected or confirmed the specific cause. Parents of children attending the centers have been notified, and the facilities are cooperating fully with the ongoing investigation.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about food safety standards in childcare settings. The ministry has advised all daycare operators to review their hygiene and food handling protocols immediately.
