Pig livers sicken 14

Fourteen people in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong province, were poisoned on Wednesday after eating pig organs that were suspected of containing an animal-feed additive. The 14 people, all from neighboring Fujian province, were poisoned after eating stir-fried pig's liver Wednesday evening at a dinner party, a Guangzhou Municipal Disease Control and Prevention Center official said.

They were all hospitalized at the Tianhe District Armed Police Hospital for stomach aches, diarrhea, vomiting and headaches, he said. Guangzhou has reported 70 cases of clenbuterol poisoning since Feb 18.
