Four students at Owen Goodnight Middle School in Texas were reportedly left feeling unwell after eating homemade cookies sold by a staff member, prompting a school investigation and police involvement. The incident, which took place on Tuesday, 5 May, has raised questions among parents about what ingredients may have been inside the treats and whether school food safety policies were breached.
In a letter sent to parents and guardians, Principal Joe Mitchell confirmed that four students admitted purchasing and eating the cookies before being evaluated by the school nurse. School officials have not publicly disclosed the students' symptoms or whether medical treatment outside the campus was required.
