150 workers suffer food poisoning

JAKARTA: Around 150 workers at the Carrefour hypermarket in
Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta, suffered from food poisoning and were
rushed to the Setia Mitra Hospital on Jl. R.S. Fatmawati, South
Jakarta, on Thursday. As of Thursday afternoon, at least 27
workers were still hospitalized.

Fatimah, 27, one of the workers said she had felt dizzy and
nauseous since Wednesday afternoon. She had consumed rice,
chicken and fried noodles on Wednesday.

Despite taking medicine, she still felt the same symptoms on
Thursday. She was surprised to hear that most of her friends also
suffered the same complaints.

Antara reported that the hypermarket management could not be
contacted for comment while the hospital was still unsure about
the cause of the food poisoning. -- JP
