China may send team to Manila over food scandal

BEIJING -- China may send a team of food-safety experts abroad for the first time after Filipino children fell ill from eating Chinese-made milk candies, state media said Monday. The special team will be sent to the Philippines if necessary to assist a government investigation there into the candies, the China Daily reported, citing a commerce ministry spokesman.

The 23 schoolchildren, aged nine and 10, were rushed to hospital on Thursday suffering from stomach aches, vomiting and dizziness after eating candy given out at a birthday party on Bantayan Island near Cebu. A local school official there said the candies were Ube Milk Candy and were made in Guangdong, China, according to the wrapper.
