Family hospitalized for food poisoning

PEKANBARU, Riau: Two of four members of a family in Pekanbaru were still being treated at a community health center on Wednesday because of what was alleged to be food poisoning.

The incident happened on Tuesday after Jon Asri, his wife Kasmiatun and his two children ate some white bread at the family's house on Jl. Ngadisari, Pekanbaru.

After eating the bread, they felt dizzy and vomited. They were then rushed to a local community health center. The children, Retno and Nofen, were allowed to return home on Tuesday evening, but their parents were still being treated at the health center as of Wednesday. -- JP
