On April 4, a six-month-old girl at Kokyoji Nursery School in Aira City, Kagoshima Prefecture, was taken to the hospital in an unconscious state after eating a grated apple served as a snack. The city has decided to verify the response of the nursery school.
The police are also investigating the situation at the time by interviewing people involved in the park. In order to prevent accidents at childcare facilities, the guidelines state that apples are served heated until the end of baby food.
