The analyzes carried out after the collective intoxication at the Albert-Camus college were negative. On January 15, just after lunch in the canteen, 47 students as well as certain staff members complained of gastric symptoms.

The analyzes only say that neither the food prepared in the kitchen nor the premises were contaminated by a germ. This does not exclude other avenues of contamination. But we'll never know, says a source close to the case. In 2010, then in 2016, in Étampes (Essonne) and the surrounding area, two schools were affected by collective poisoning.
