概要
The jar of oil that had held insecticide poisoned twenty-three children
In this episode, we follow the morning at Dharmashati Mata primary when a cook raised an alarm about oil that smelled wrong and was ordered to proceed. The story traces who supplied the food, how the Midday Meal routine worked, and what question about oversight and storage remains: how did that jar of oil end up in the curry?
Person: Panna Devi
Location: Dharmashati Mata primary school, Gandaman village, Saran district, Bihar
Date: July 16, 2013
Topic: Midday Meal Scheme food safety
Toxic agent: monocrotophos residue in oil container
- The container of cooking oil came from the headmistress’s private home and had been used to store supplies for the school.
- The headmistress’s husband owned the grocery where the oil was purchased and managed the informal supply chain.
- The cook noticed a chemical odour and discoloration, reported it to the headmistress, and was told to cook anyway.
- Within thirty minutes of the meal being served, dozens of children collapsed with vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhoea.
- Forensic tests later found the jar had previously held insecticide, and hospital staff noted children emitting toxic vapours.
