Three die in food poisoning

BANYUMAS, Central Java: At least three people died and 60
others fell ill after eating bad local delicacy.

Doctor Sugito Kertapati of the Kemranjen Hospital told The
Jakarta Post that five people were in critical condition.

The villagers consumed tempe mondol, a local delicacy made of
fermented soya beans. Poisoning resulting from inappropriate
fermentation has often claimed lives in this regency.

Sugito said the fermentation failed because the maker,
apparently eager to multiply his profit margin, blended the soya
beans with cassava.(wah)
