In the report on Sunday, the introduction of Hans, Hans, gave up the blood tests of students who were poisoned in the kindergarten of pens in the city of Tianga.
The city authorities also accepted a bribe from an investor in peesin, neglecting food security inspections in several preschool institutions, the report said.
In an attempt to attract more students, Peixin Chefs used inedible paints to “increase the appearance” of their food, the message said.
Later were found samples of food containing lead 2000 times higher than the national security limit.
Initially, eight people were detained for participating in the production of toxic snacks. Six of them – including the director of kindergarten, chefs and investors – were arrested, the report said.
Ten other officials will face “formal accounting procedures”, and 17 more people are under disciplinary investigation.
On July 8, the authorities found that 235 children from a private kindergarten were treated in the hospital for lead poisoning after using a couple of red dating cakes and corn buns with sausage.
As of Sunday, 234 of them were discharged.
The Provincial Center for Hans’s Disease Control and Prevention was ordered to check 267 students and staff after some showed symptoms earlier this month, but officials “did not take work seriously”.
According to the report, the person responsible for the tests “seriously violated the operating procedures that distorted the results.”
Among other details, the report was named by several people under the investigation and outlined the concentration of various food samples.
He also accused employees of the TianShui National Hospital of “Serious Debt” and described the management of this institute as “chaotic”.
The Chinese Internet drew great attention to the report, some of them evaluated what they see a transparent disclosure and others ask that the criminals be held accountable.
Unlike the provincial and urban officials, the report states that the Central Government exists a “quick response”, which convened the expert college “as soon as possible” to revise any gaps in the procedures.
