Following several incidents of food poisoning, the Government has asked schools not to serve milk and other dairy products and some other easily perishable products to students. At present MNT 400 is budgeted for the lunch of a single student. This is not enough and schools are forced to buy substandard products.

According to the latest information, the school in Bulgan soum of Khovd province served one food product that is not listed. Minister for Education, Culture and Science Yo.Otgonbayar has been asked to take action against the related officials of the school. The Government has also decided to establish more testing laboratories.
