18 San Diego students taken to hospitals after falling ill
Eighteen students at a San Diego elementary school were taken to hospitals and trauma centers Thursday after getting sick during lunch, authorities said.
The students at Audubon Elementary complained of stomachaches and nausea and some were throwing up. After being examined by health workers, nearly all were released within minutes.
San Diego school district officials launched an investigation to see whether the food or beverages served at lunch at the 425-student school may have been the cause of the distress.
An initial review showed that none of the food or beverages was past its expiration dates and that the refrigeration used in the cafeteria was working, authorities said.
