Preliminary test results from an independent laboratory show XPOP Energy Cola Fizz lollipops were not responsible for suspected food poisoning at a Verulam school, Richester Foods said on Wednesday.
The sweet company released the results on Monday after 40 pupils at Lotusville Primary School fell ill on Friday afternoon after ingesting the lollipops purchased from pupils during the school’s market day.
“After performing extensive tests on the lollipops, KLM High-Giene failed to detect bacterial contamination or causes that could relate to ill health,” he said. Cassim said while the company was still awaiting final results, the bacteria listed by the laboratory’s preliminary results were those responsible for food poisoning.
“We had a meeting with the school principal where she confirmed they ate a host of homemade baked goods, as it was market day, before our pop, and she also agreed food poisoning usually takes hours to manifest, not immediately after ingesting,” said Cassim.
