While the response was good, the article doesn't mention what caused the poisoning. More transparency would help prevent future cases.

This happens too often. Contractors need to be held accountable for living conditions. Food poisoning is preventable with basic hygiene standards.

Glad to hear they're stable now. The article could have included more about follow-up care - will they get compensation for lost work days?
