About 40 people, including three children, have had to go to the University Hospital of the city affected by the same picture.

From the booth they have informed through social networks that food is made daily by some of the students and their families and that they never serve anything that has not been prepared that same day.

"Unfortunately not everything depends on us and some food has played a trick on us, " said those responsible for the booth in a statement released on social networks, where they also apologize to all affected people.
