Dozens of students from three schools in the Hui and Tu Autonomous County of Datong started to show symptoms of food poisoning such as vomiting and diarrhea after eating lunch at their schools on Wednesday.
The source that caused the mass food poisoning has been discovered, Wang Yubo, mayor of Xining, the provincial capital, said.
Local authorities added that the remaining lunch has been sealed for tests.
An investigation into the cause of the accident is under way.

circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism
getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as
arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
