On the morning of May 2, fifteen students from four elementary schools in Thu Duc City were rushed to Le Van Thinh Hospital for emergency treatment due to suspected food poisoning. Most of the students had eaten sushi from street vendors near the school gate. After arrival, the students exhibited symptoms of vomiting and dizziness. Doctors diagnosed the students with gastrointestinal infections and suspected food poisoning. Following intravenous fluids and antibiotics, their conditions improved, and their vomiting decreased.
Among the 15 pediatric patients, eight were from Thanh My Loi primary school, three from Binh Trung Dong primary school, one each from Nguyen Van Troi and Nguyen The Vinh primary schools, and two children from unknown schools. The majority of the cases had eaten sushi purchased from street vendors near the school gate. Authorities conducted investigations at the elementary schools to determine the cause of the food poisoning.
In response to this incident and other cases of food poisoning among students, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Food Safety launched an Action Month for Food Safety. The department director, Pham Khanh Phong Lan, warned of the risks associated with consuming food from street vendors, collective kitchens, and schools, especially during hot weather when bacteria can easily grow on food. Inspections and surprise checks of food businesses and restaurants in the city are being intensified to ensure food safety.
