Rodríguez Bravo, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - At least 40 students
at the "Carlos Casalle" middle
school in Santo Domingo, Villa Clara province,
reported being afflicted by food poisoning
as a result of a decomposing snack given
to them at the school October 23.
The first six cases were taken to the local
polyclinic after suffering from diarrhea,
convulsions and vomiting.
Family members of some of the students
said they had been given a snack of soy
bean yogurt and a sandwich.
Since the beginning of the school year,
the Ministry of Education has been distributing
"the Commander in Chief's snacks"
to middle school children in order to keep
them in school for most of the day as part
of the Battle of Ideas.
