Parents have staged a protest outside a high school in China's south-western province after allegedly discovering their children had been fed expired and rotting food from the canteen.They posted images of the food online, which went viralThe parents of students at Chengdu No.7 Experimental School reportedly discovered the issues with the lunches after wandering into the canteen during a visit to the school, the BBC reported.
They took photos of what they found there and posted them to Chinese social media, where they were widely shared. A report from The Guardian cited one social media post from a parent saying that a doctor who examined their child believed they had been eating rotten food over a prolonged period of time.
While the hashtag translating to"Chengdu No.7 Experimental School" was reportedly viewed more than 200 million times on Weibo as of Wednesday, most posts including pictures and videos of the protest and the food have now been censored. However, several videos showing the protest outside the school gates have since been reposted on YouTube.
