Several students at the San Manuel School in Málaga detected worms in the soup served last Friday in the cafeteria. The management assures that food safety protocols have been activated and an internal review has been opened.
Students from San Manuel School, a concerted centre in the capital of Málaga, found worms in the soup served last Friday in the cafeteria, according to information obtained by Diario Sur through affected families. The food was prepared in the school's own kitchen and not by an external catering service.
The younger students in the first shifts consumed the dish without the kitchen staff or monitors detecting the presence of the parasites. The alert was raised in the last shift when the older students noticed the worms in their plates.
The families have expressed their outrage and report that the children in Nursery and Primary ate the contaminated soup without realising. Several parents, who preferred to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals in the school environment, have conveyed their discontent to this newspaper.
“It is unacceptable that this happens in a school that is supposed to cook daily with local suppliers”
The school's management, through its director, Carmen Estrella, has sent an internal communication to families to convey a message of reassurance. In the letter, it confirms that internal control and food safety protocols have been activated and that a review has been initiated to clarify what happened.
The school assures that it is working with the kitchen team and, if necessary, with the involved suppliers. The management emphasises that the health and safety of the students are their priority, although they admit that the available information does not allow for conclusions about the causes.
After lamenting the concern generated, the school commits to conveying the conclusions and, if applicable, the measures to be taken once the investigation is concluded.
