Wuxi makes the world news .....

Well, in the food safety world at least. Last week I received an email from my aunt, Jenny who happens to work in this industry (she knows everything there is to know about cheese!), informing me that Wuxi had in fact made the news. Here is the article: 300 people ill in suspected food poisoning in E CHINA city 09.sep.09 Xinhua News Agency http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-09/09/content_12023779.htm NANJING -- More than 300 employees of a pipe manufacturing company are suspected victims of food poisoning in an east China city Wednesday, local authorities said. The 300 employees of Seamless Oil Pipe Company Ltd. in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province asked for leave Wednesday morning and the company found the employees had begun going to hospital late Tuesday, said an official with the municipal health bureau. The initial investigation showed that the unsanitary conditions in the company's canteen caused the suspected food poisoning, the official said. Maybe I should pass this onto the catering company that provides our lunches, maybe it will inspire them to feed us something more edible.
