There has been renewed criticism of food standards in China after six people died when they ate the same soup earlier this week.
In the central province of Hubei, eight people collapsed with cramps and vomiting after eating soup for lunch. Two of them died on the spot and four died later.
Amongst the dead were a 13-year old girl and a 10-year old boy.
The food poisoning occurred at a scrap collection business.
The Chinese Government recently launched a national food quality campaign to counter growing concerns over hygiene standards.
