BANDUNG: A mother and her two infant children had to be treated in hospital on Monday suffering from what was believed to be food poisoning after drinking a carton of milk.

Eva, 40, and her two daughters Silvia, 3, and Rinjani, 1.5, were all in a stable condition Monday evening but were still being treated at Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Antara reported.

According to the father, Yanto, 43, the four had been minding the family's bakso (meatball) stand at Panoram market that afternoon.

Then, as a milk vendor passed by, Silvia cried out for some milk.

Yanto said his two daughters and his wife shared the carton of milk which cost Rp 1,500.

Soon after the three of them began to feel sick.

Yanto admitted that he neglected to check the expiry date on the milk carton. (mds)
