40 primary pupils hospitalized due to milk tea poisoningAround 40 pupils of class 3B in Tran Phu Primary School (in the central city of Quang Ngai) were hospitalized in the Maternity – Children Hospital of the city at around 10:00am on May 21, 2018. Each was delivered one box of milk tea, bought by the parental association of the class from a milk tea shop on Ngo Quyen Street of Quang Ngai City. After using the tea, the pupils had signals of abdominal cramps and those who drank much tea vomited and had high fever. Related agencies have collected samples of the supposedly poisonous milk tea from six boxes with the brand ‘U.CC’. Before using this tea, those pupils also ate coconut jelly cubes.
