TAIPEI, Taiwan -- More than twenty foreign workers employed at the Dali Industrial Park in Taichung

County were treated at a hospital for food poisoning symptoms late Wednesday night, the park administration said yesterday.

A steady stream of foreign workers began arriving at Dali City's Jen-Ai Hospital emergency room from 11:30 p.m. with symptoms such as abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, according to the park administration.

Four of the workers whose symptoms were more serious were hospitalized for further observation, while most of the others were sent home after receiving treatment, the hospital said. The workers said they began experiencing the food-poisoning symptoms after eating Thai style boxed lunches at the industrial park.

The hospital said that it has collected food samples and is conducting tests to confirm the source of the suspected food poisoning.
