At least 163 Jakarta middle school students fall ill from food poisoning, allegedly after eating tainted tofu.
Hundreds of students from State Junior High School (SMPN) 184 fell ill yesterday in Cibubur, East Jakarta, due to food poisoning after eating the nasi bungkus (rice boxes) meals provided to them at an event.
The students were attending a “jamboree” party sponsored by their school at Cibubur’s Bumi Perkemahan (campgrounds) yesterday. The organizers gave the students nasi bungkus, which are commonly served at events in Indonesia, and soon after eating numerous students began experiencing nausea, vomiting and some even reportedly fainted.
