from 3 separate meal parties reported becoming ill after eating food from this place on September 3, 2022 and September 7, 2022. They have not identified any ill employees. No hospitalizations or death are reported at this time. Public Health has not identified how STEC was spread within the restaurant. This is not uncommon for STEC outbreaks, because the bacteria can spread through contaminated food items, environmental surfaces, and from person to person. The investigation is ongoing.
In case you are experiencing E. coli symptoms such as watery diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting; stomach cramps; and mild fever, it is important to report it. 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.
