MEDIA reports on cases of food poisoning in the country, especially involving students, seem to be on the rise lately. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) views the matter seriously and would like to urge everyone involved, including the relevant authorities, school administrators, owners of eateries, caterers, food handlers and parents to take appropriate steps to prevent food contamination from becoming a serious health threat.
We do not want to see a repeat of the recent food poisoning case in Batu Gajah, Perak which claimed one life and left several others needing hospital care.
