E. coli Associated with Peppa’s Korean BBQ May Be Related to Food Handling Violations

The Honolulu, Hawaii E. coli outbreak associated with Peppa’s Korean BBQ may be related to food handling violations that closed the restaurant down yesterday. According to the Honolulu Advisor:
Health officials said the department confirmed that at least four of the seven actually ate at the Ke’eaumoku-area fast-food establishment between March 2 and March 23, when the bacterial infections occurred. . . .
“We don’t often get clusters of cases like this,” said Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo.
After it was confirmed that some of those sickened by E. coli 0157:H7 had eaten at Peppa’s, state Sanitation Branch inspectors were dispatched to the restaurant, where they observed food-handling violations, Okubo said.
Those violations, coupled with confirmation of the Peppa’s connection, caused inspectors to issue a “notice of permit suspension” and a cease-and-desist order against the restaurant at about 10 a.m. yesterday, Okubo said.
