CHICAGO (AP) - ...Illinois education officials failed to notify schools that some food shipped to them had been contaminated with ammonia, even though some cafeteria managers had complained for a year, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Dozens of children were sickened.
...documents showed the state Board of Education knew in early 2002 that ammonia-laden food was still showing up in schools,...
...U.S. Department of Agriculture... did not notify schools or other agencies, and the department later allowed food to be shipped ...despite a quarantine, the newspaper said.
Nearly a year after the leak, 42 children at Laraway Elementary School in Joliet were rushed to a hospital after eating chicken tenders from the warehouse that state health officials said contained up to 133 times the accepted level of ammonia.

I remember when ketchup was declared a vegetable, so why would it shock me that ammonia is now a condiment?
Your tax dollars at work?...Joyce in the mts.
