Byaroza Cheese Factory: Mazyr kids couldn't get poisoned with our products

After the incident in Mazyr, when over 70 children got to hospital with food poisoning, their parents accused Byaroza Cheese Factory of making low-quality production. The parents claimed thatthe children got poisoned with glazed cheese bars.

"My son also got poisoned at school. They called the ambulance and took him to the hospital for a gastric lavage. There were many children... The menu differed at all schools, but all the children had glazed cheese bars," one of the fathers writes.

Deputy Director on Manufacture of the Byaroza Cheese Factory Natallia Byaleka turns down the suspicions.

"We are investigating the issue. It just cannot be true. 8 400 bars were shipped to Mazyr, and there were just 70 cases of poisoning. Where are all the others? The sanitary station arrived to us again, they are checking our goods. The bars are clear, they have checked everything. I can guarantee our production is of high quality."

Mazyr Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology should name the exact reason for poisoning. They are holding a consultative session with participation of the city and the Republican specialists now.

The children started arriving to Mazyr city hospital in the afternoon on September 19. Pupils of three schools and one grammar school got poisoned - 71 children in total. At present, 13 of them stay in hospital.
