    Nine members of the same family  in China died after eating homemade


    corn noodles that were reportedly kept in the freezer for a year.
    The family was poisoned by toxic bongkrekic acid found in noodles, local
    authorities told the state-run Global Times, while ruling out the possibility of
    intentional poisoning .
    Following the death, the National Health Commission on Tuesday issued an
    urgent warning for people to avoid making and eating foods with fermented rice
    and flour, reported the China Daily.
    The family of 12, living in the Jixi city of Northeast China's Heilongjiang province,
    had gathered on 5 October for breakfast. While nine of the family ate the
    homemade noodles, also known as Suantangzi, the younger members did not
    eat it because they did not like the taste. Suantangzi is a thick type of noodle
    made from fermented corn flour.
