Salmonella has sickened 16 Ottawa children, putting three of
them in hospital, and public health officials have zeroed in on one type of
meal served at schools and daycare centres.
The sickened children are between ages 15 months and 14
years.
They all ate food prepared at one of three The Lunch Lady
locations, but public health inspections of that facility have turned up no
infractions or deficiencies in food handling and preparation.
The health unit is not identifying the specific type of meal
in question because officials said they don’t want to alarm parents.
But that means parents can't take any action to protect their children. Just trust the bureaucrats to do the right things, folks!
My heart goes out to those three children in hospital. I hope they fully recover.
