As many as 15 students of a nursing college run by a private hospital
at Killipalam here were hospitalised on Thursday for food poisoning
after they reportedly had food from their hostel mess. The students
have been admitted to the same hospital and the condition of at least 10
is said to be slightly serious.
According to sources, the students had lunch from the mess of the ladies hostel at Uppalam Road on Wednesday. They were later admitted to the same hospital after they complained of vomiting and uneasiness. The hospital authorities, however, claimed that it was not the food served at the mess but the food brought by a student from her house which caused the illness.
On being informed about the incident, Food Safety officials visited the hostel kitchen and collected food samples.
