More than 100 workers in a Can Tho- based company were hospitalized due to food poisoning on December 23.
The workers suffered stomachache, nausea and vomiting after eating the food. Most of them have already recovered, but 61 people are still being treated in hospital.
The company ordered food from a restaurant in Chau Thanh District, Mekong Delta province of Hau Giang in the neighborhood of Can Tho City.
Each portion of food included meat, braised pork, fried fish and soup, for price of VND9,000.
Agencies in the province are taking food samples for testing, so that they can investigate the cause of the food poisoning outbreak.
