California Chicken Cafe, Nordhoff Street, Northridge, CA, United States

7 years ago

18445 Nordhoff Street, Los Angeles, 91325 California, United States

I have reported this incident to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Below is what I reported:

At about 2:45 pm on July 6, 2016 I ordered a three-piece chicken meal (with leg and thigh, mashed potatoes and fruit salad) at this California Chicken Cafe location. The food wasn't as hot as usual, but I ate it anyway. This is the only food I ate this day, other than breakfast cereal and a banana earlier at my home (that I ate again yesterday and am not sick from). About 6:30 pm after leaving, I still felt the food from California Chicken Cafe in my stomach. I started to get concerned. A short time later I started vomiting. The vomiting continued on and off until about 5:00 am. I vomited about 30 times. It wasn't pleasant, so there's no need for me to go into details. I had to take off work yesterday, as I was extremely weak and ill from the whole experience.

This IS NOT THE FIRST TIME this has happened at California Chicken Cafe Northridge. Several years ago a similar incident happened to me, that I also reported to the County of Los Angeles Public Health Department. After that happened, I no longer ate at California Chicken Cafe. About a year ago I decided to give them a second chance. After this new incident, I'll never eat there again. I have only been sick after eating at California Chicken Cafe, not at other restaurants. I don't know what the problem is there, but they deserve to be shut-down. Enough is enough. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, Weakness

Damn, that’s like right down the road from me! Lol. Way too close to home, I’d be so disgusted. Definitely gonna stay away from that canned spinach. It almost looks like part of a roach. thanks for reporting this. I can only suggest to be careful with the Simple Meals at the HEB on Fairmont.

Kwik Trip, Inc. has initiated a voluntary recall of three varieties of fresh-cut fruit cup and tray products listed below because they contain cantaloupe from TruFresh which has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

Major League Baseball (MLB) terminated its annual General Manager (GM) meetings due to a suspected Norovirus outbreak at the Omni Montelucia Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona, that affected over 10% of the executives present.

The interruptions in the meetings commenced on Wednesday as a result of reported illnesses that... See More initially seemed like food poisoning from Tuesday's buffet. However, the cause has now been traced to the highly infectious Norovirus, realizing that several affected individuals had not consumed the suspect meal. The Norovirus, notorious for being primarily spread via direct contact, can also spread through contaminated food, surfaces, and water.

The outbreak was discovered when illnesses were reported on the opening night and more cases emerged on Wednesday afternoon. This situation prompted the league to discontinue the meetings scheduled to end on Thursday morning. Nearly every team had reported at least one illness, with notable afflictions from members of New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman’s staff and at least eight individuals from the league office.

The general managers meetings often act as the unofficial start to the off-season in baseball, which makes its premature conclusion impactful to consequent events. This outbreak has inevitably enforced modifications to the subsequent agents meetings, which will now be held over Zoom.

Norovirus is very contagious and is easily transmitted from person to person most through the oral/fecal route. Considering that hand sanitizer does NOT work against this virus, it is important to wash your hands with soap frequently. Use bleach to clean and disinfect surfaces.

In case you experience Norovirus symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and nausea, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care
