Authorities in a Spanish city have suspended the permit of a company that provided catering to several schools after a large outbreak.
The outbreak affected 149 children and five teachers from four Palma schools on the Balearic Islands this past December.
The suspected food was a rice dish. Sick people had abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting but symptoms were mild with no hospitalizations.
The General Directorate of Public Health temporarily suspended the activity of the company in charge of the catering service. The move follows investigations carried out into the food poisoning incident by the Food Safety Service of the Ministry of Health which found “obvious shortcomings” in food safety management.
