BEIJING - At least 16 children, most between 2 and 5, were hospitalized with food poisoning after eating at a kindergarten in northwest China, state media reported on Friday.
One of the children was in serious condition, Xinhua news agency said, after eating this week at the kindergarten in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The incident was the latest in a string of mass food-poisoning outbreaks since August, all but one of them in schools. The cases appear to be unrelated.
On Monday, Xinhua reported that 56 children in a nursery school in Jiangxi province in southern China fell sick after eating cakes and noodles. Most of the children were between 3 and 6.
