Two out of the seven pupils from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Dato Syed Ahmad, Kuala Nerang, who were treated at Hospital Kuala Nerang (HKN) for food poisoning yesterday were discharged Tuesday.

Kedah Health director Dr Ismail Abu Taat said the five other pupils were undergoing treatment and were reported to be in stable condition.

He said the food poisoning was caused by ‘ayam masak merah’ believed to be infected by a type of salmonella bacteria, because the chicken were not preserved properly.
