In Tianshui City, Gansu province, China, over 200 kindergarten children were hospitalized with lead poisoning after staff at Peixin Kindergarten were found to be mixing inedible decorative paint into students’ food. The paint, added for visual appeal, caused lead levels in the food to exceed national safety limits by more than 2,000 times.

A total of 233 children tested positive for lead poisoning. Many had been experiencing symptoms such as stomach pain, leg pain, fatigue, and appetite loss since March.

Key Details:

The paint was reportedly added to foods like sausage corn buns and steamed red date cakes.
Surveillance footage shows staff actively mixing the toxic paint into food.
8 individuals have been arrested so far, including the school’s principal and an investor.
The principal allegedly ordered the paint to be purchased online.

This story, first reported by the BBC and shared by Hollywood Unlocked via Deja Monet, has caused widespread outrage and concern.
