Rail passenger sickened, food supplier probed

China Railway Guangzhou Group has suspended cooperation with a catering company after a passenger became sick from eating moldy food.

Two passengers, surnamed Zhu and Xia, bought boxes of beef and chicken wing rice on their way from Beijing to Wuhan, Hubei province, on Saturday. Xia, who didn't notice that the food was moldy until he had eaten half his dinner, later threw up and had diarrhea. Zhu did not eat the meal.

They complained immediately and had the 80 yuan ($11.70) cost of the meals refunded and received two new boxed meals as compensation, Hubei Daily reported.
