The Investigative Committee has begun a check into an incident in the republic of Altai, where 14 school students were briefly hospitalized with stomach flu, RIA-Novosti reported Tuesday.
The Federal Consumer Protection Service linked the poisonings in the city of Novoaltaisk to food served Sunday in the school cafeteria. The service cited serious breaches of safety regulations during food storage and transportation.
No criminal cases into the incident in Novoaltaisk have been opened so far, the report said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
