Overview

• State Health Secretary Adrián Medina Amarillas reported at least 245 students from six primary schools fell ill after eating school breakfasts, updating earlier lower counts.
• Municipal emergency crews, including firefighters, Civil Protection and the Red Cross, responded across multiple campuses and transported roughly 40 children to hospitals.
• Authorities describe cases as mostly mild—abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting—and say all affected students are out of danger, despite isolated media claims of critical cases.
• The contracted provider AB Alimentos was identified in school communications and media reports, and parents were asked to keep medical receipts as the company may be liable for costs.
• Governor Marina del Pilar ordered an exhaustive investigation as health agencies conduct inspections and COEPRIS collects samples from water and chicken to confirm the cause and determine accountability.
