Food Poisoning Strikes 250 Inmates at Michigan Jail

About 250 inmates being held at the Kent County Jail in Grand Rapids, MI suffering with food poisoning symptoms since Sunday still do not know for certain what ails them.

None required hospitalization and all are said to be recovering.

The illnesses among the inmates began on Sunday, when Undersheriff Jon Hess says the jail served a taco-type meal that included a "chicken product." Hess said the meat was cooked at the proper temperature in a kettle, and then kept warm in a steamer.
