The teacher at the school in Jiaozuo city in Henan province, identified only by the surname Wang, was taken into custody after the 27 March incident, Xinhua news agency said, citing local officials.
BEIJING - Twenty-three pupils at a kindergarten in central China were taken to hospital last week after a teacher allegedly poisoned their morning porridge, state-run reported Monday.
One child remains in hospital with "severe" symptoms, and seven others have been held for observation, Xinhua reported. The incident in Jiaozuo came just before a new regulation took effect Monday, requiring school officials from kindergartens to secondary schools in China to dine with their students in canteens to prevent food safety scandals.
