In previous cases of food poisoning stemming from the free lunch programme negligent food preparation has been cited as a suspected cause.

This week’s victims ate meals that included soy sauce chicken, fried tofu, vegetables and fruit – but past poisoning incidents have been linked to expired sauce and, in one case, the serving of fried shark.

The title is malicious I think. A more meaningful title in my opinion should reflect that the cooking is wrong, not that free school lunch is bad.
