(CNN) — Twelve children drank floor sealant that was served instead of milk to students at a summer program in Juneau, Alaska, according to the school district. Children in the program at Sitʼ Eeti Shaanáx̱-Glacier Valley Elementary School began complaining that the milk they were served as part of Tuesday’s breakfast tasted bad and was burning their mouths and throats, Juneau School District said in a statement. After the children complained, employees “immediately followed up by smelling/tasting the milk and looking at the container/label,” the statement said. “It was found that the ‘milk’ served was actually a floor sealant resembling liquid milk. RALLY provides state-licensed child care for students ages 5 through 12 and is a partnership with the Juneau School District, according to the district website.
