King County Public Health is investigating an outbreak of norovirus-like illness associated with vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and chills at Il Terrazzo Carmine in Seattle. Since April 4, 2022, 10 people from 3 separate meal parties reported becoming ill after eating food from the Il Terrazzo Carmine on April 2, 2022.Raw oysters are suspected as the likely source of illness, however, it may involve multiple contaminated food items, environmental surfaces, and person-to-person spread.
Environmental Health Investigators visited the restaurant on April 5, 2022, and observed: "numerous improper food handling practices, including inadequate handwashing, inadequate use of barriers to prevent bare hand contact with ready to eat foods, lack of temperature controls, and risk of cross-contamination"
In case you are experiencing norovirus like symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramping, 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.
