At least 200 learners from the Trevor Manuel Primary School in Fisantekraal in Cape Town were admitted to hospital yesterday after they ate expired chewing gum.
The learners reportedly started vomiting after the gum raised their blood sugar levels too rapidly.
The City of Cape Town’s Wilfred Solomons-Johannes says a group of learners found the chewing gum on a nearby farm and shared it with their classmates.
He says the goods were intended to be disposed of in the correct manner and the city’s department of health will investigate the matter and they’ve taken samples of the goods that will be taken for laboratory tests
