Twenty-two people were taken to hospital after eating cake and caramel candies from a bakery in the region of Tupi, South Cotabato, Mindanao Island.

Officials said the victims complained of dizziness and abdominal pains after eating jelly roll slices and homemade caramel candies.

Authorities are now saying that the bakery has been shut down by local officials after discovering the jelly rolls were spoiled.

Police are confirming that nine of the 22 involved are still in the hospital.

A local radio station in nearby Koronadal City said the incident is the second in the provincial area since last Sunday.
