USA – Norovirus – Cow Fish Sushi Burger

Food Poisoning Journal Norwalk_Caspid

At least 96 people were sickened with norovirus from The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar in Charlotte, NC, in early June, reports the Charlotte Observer.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services confirmed one norovirus case with laboratory testing and said the other 95 were “probable” cases.

The Cowfish closed on June 5 and June 10, reopening on June 16.

The restaurant initially suspected a problem with the calamari before thinking the illnesses reported by customers were not linked to food.
