Children shake off effects of bad milk

GUANGZHOU: All of the 75 children who fell ill after drinking contaminated milk last week are out of hospital, and most of them were back at school, the provincial authority on product quality and food safety said yesterday.

Inspectors from the Zhuhai center of disease control and prevention said traces of staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin (SE), a kind of bacteria, were present in the milk.

About 75 kindergarteners in Zhuhai and Jiangmen, Guangdong province, were poisoned after drinking contaminated high-calcium milk last Wednesday.
