At least 136 school children have been hospitalized for food poisoning in the southern Indian state of Kerala. According to medical personnel, over one hundred children are still undergoing treatment. Authorities have seized samples of the food consumed by the children. India's free "Mid-Day Meal Scheme" aims to tackle hunger and boost attendance in government-run primary schools. But poor food management practices have hurt the scheme's reputation. In 2013, at least 22 children died after eating lunch at a school in India's Bihar state.
