Over 200 Chinese kindergarten children suffered lead poisoning after kitchen staff used paint as food coloring. Eight individuals, including the principal, are detained. The paint, clearly labeled non-edible, was used to make food more appealing, resulting in lead levels exceeding national standards by over 2000 times in some samples. Many children are hospitalized, and the incident has sparked outrage and renewed concerns about China's food safety regulations and transparency.
