86 trainees at the police school of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Group food poisoning with lunch box September 13 21:15

In the police school of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in Fuchu City, Tokyo, it was found that 86 trainees complained of symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain late last month. The store that manufactured and sold was suspended from 13 days for 7 days.

According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, since the 28th of last month, 86 trainees aged 18 to 24 complained of symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain at the police school of the Metropolitan Police Department in Fuchu City.

In both cases, the symptoms were mild, and no one was hospitalized. However, when the Sumida Ward Health Center examined it, it was found that a kind of bacteria, Welsh bacteria, was detected from lunch boxes served as lunch on the 28th.

The health center determined that it was a collective food poisoning caused by a bento with the detection of bacteria, and the sale lunch box store “San-ei” in Sumida Ward, where the bento was manufactured and sold, was suspended from 13th for 7 days.

Since Clostridium perfringens is resistant to heat and does not die even at high temperatures, it means that if it is left at room temperature for a long time after cooking, the bacteria tend to grow.

The city calls for caution not to leave cooked food at room temperature for a long time.

Sanae, who received the disposition, said, “I am very sorry for the inconvenience to the people concerned. Considering food safety first, I will thoroughly trust hygiene education so that this will not happen again. All employees want to make progress toward recovery. "
