The Dominican Institute of Technology labs said they did not find bacterias nor microbes in the production processes of the suppliers of juices and milk to public schools. As of 16 March, supplies of several manufacturers in specific areas of the country have been poisoned. It is believed the problem has to do with the handling of the products after they leave the production plants. Until the matter is resolved, the Ministry has discontinued the purchase of supplies, a move that will affect 400,000 students.
