Police probe Epson's caterer

BEKASI: Lemah Abang Subprecinct Police chief Adj. Comr.
Muryono said his men had questioned on Tuesday the caterer of
printer manufacturer PT Epson in Cikarang, in connection with
food poisoning suffered by 228 factory workers after eating
breakfast at work last Saturday.

"We have also analyzed the vomit of the workers and expect the
results to come through in the next few days. We had yet to name
any suspects in the case," he said.

The workers fell ill after eating nasi kuning (a traditional
rice dish) with fried tempeh provided by the caterer.

The workers were rushed to different nearby hospitals. Some
were hospitalized. The company paid all the hospital bills, but
the management refused to comment on the incident. -- JP
