HCM CITY (VNS) — Nearly 100 workers of a footwear company in HCM City’s Thu Duc District were rushed to hospitals on Wednesday evening allegedly for food poisoning.
The workers reportedly suffered from stomach ache, vomiting and diarrhoea after having dinner before the late shift.
Nguyen Thanh Binh, a doctor at the Emergency Department of Thu Duc District Hospital said that the workers displayed symptoms of food poisoning.
Forty workers received intravenous fluids.
The district’s preventive medicine centre and relevant agencies took food samples from the company’s canteen for testing.
This food poisoning case occurred just a day before a conference in northern Thai Nguyen Province on food safety at collective canteens organised by the health ministry.
