Several primary schools in Nagykanizsa are affected by an illness causing vomiting and diarrhea, potentially linked to school meals. Mayor Jácint Horváth reported that the Zala County Government Office has been notified, and an investigation is ongoing. The affected institutions include Hevesi Sándor Primary School and others. The suspicion points to food prepared at Hevesi Sándor's kitchen, supplied to other schools. The local catering service is provided by Gasztvitál Közétkeztetési Zrt.
