At least 20 female students staying in a hostel of a private university in Madhya Pradesh‘s Indore district fell ill due to alleged food poisoning, an official said on Monday. The students complained of vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain late Sunday night, SAGE University registrar Manish Chowdhary told PTI.
The university management, however, has denied that the food prepared in the hostel’s canteen was contaminated. “Many students of our hostel had gone to the city during the day and might have returned after consuming food from outside. We have also found out that some students had non-vegetarian food cooked outside the hostel premises on Sunday,” Chaudhary said.

Histamine in fish is produced as a result of microbial contamination, a breach of the cooling chain is also a risk factor. Higher histamine content can cause itchy skin and rash, headache or drop in blood pressure.

Around 25 tourists have been struck down by a food poisoning outbreak at a five-star resort in Turkey.
At least one of the British holidaymakers – on all-inclusive deals with holiday firm TUI – has been hospitalised.
One holidaymaker said there were “more than 10 families suffering” and “numbers are growing by the day”.
Kate Dowling tweeted: “My family are in Rixos Sungate – three out of five have food poisoning with one hospitalised. Staff are not doing anything to help, denying all knowledge even though other guests have complained.”
