Taipei's school lunch program is under fresh scrutiny after nine second-grade students at Minzu Elementary School in Songshan District reported vomiting and stomach discomfort after eating squid served on September 24th.
Six students were taken to hospital and diagnosed with gastroenteritis, though officials said influenza or norovirus could not be ruled out.
Three other schools served by the same central kitchen reported no problems.
Health inspectors later cited the kitchen, run on the Jiankang Elementary campus, for two hygiene violations, including incomplete transport and cleaning records and an unclean grease trap.
