There's a lot more to the story of any of the kids getting sick from the meal.
Not by happyinwonderlands opinion, it met USDA standards, was approved by USDA and passed requirements for nutrition for school lunch food. Advertised in the school food suppliers pamplet. I haven't heard of any kids that were upset, some parents maybe.
These are from some local news reports.
some students
reportedly became ill after eating the chili. (More to this too than is being reported.)
the school's head cook decided to use the meat because it is leaner and healthier than beef.
According to KSID,
Frei was fired as head cook on Wednesday. Frei told the news outlet that he saw the meat advertised in a Sysco order catalog and received approval from Williams to buy the meat. He also told KSID Williams looked at the meat and gave him permission to use it. Williams denied to the news outlet that he was informed about ordering the meat, and added that if he had known it would never have happened.
