School forgets to take off plastic casing for sausages before cooking
The post explained that students were served sausages with stir-fried vegetables. However, some students also received sausages that still had plastic wrapping on them.
In a follow-up post, the page alleged that the school sent photos of the meal to the student council and a foundation overseeing the school.
However, the photos showed generous portions of food and sausages without the aforementioned plastic — a stark contrast to what the student allegedly received.

School under investigation
The post drew the ire of Thai netizens, which eventually prompted an investigation by the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC).
According to Khaosod, the school clarified their food selection and preparation process.
When the school ordered sausages, they reportedly received ones in plastic casing and natural casing.
The school believes that the confusion was caused by the mixed orders, as well as the fact that the cook prepared the meals early in the morning.
However, the school admitted that the undercooked pork was a result of the cook’s carelessness.
