Ohio doughnut shop linked to norovirus outbreak; 200-plus ill

Food Safety News

A doughnut shop in suburban Toledo, OH, remained closed Thursday as county health inspectors continued an investigation into a norovirus outbreak that has sickened more than 200 people.

Mama C’s Donuts & Coffee on Conant Street in the Toledo suburb of Maumee, OH, voluntarily closed on Tuesday after public health officials informed the owners of illnesses among customers, according to multiple media outlets in the area.

A number of people who ate food from the doughnut shop from Aug. 4 through Aug. 7 became ill with norovirus symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting, according to reports by The (Toledo) Blade newspaper and television news stations in the area.

Noakhali Nursing Institute was hit by food poisoning with 32 students falling victim to it so far.

While students blame the food of residential dining to be the cause, staffs say the mass attack has been caused by food brought from outside, reports Bangla daily Prothom Alo.

Twenty seven of the affected students have been admitted to Noakhali general hospital around 10:00am, said Syed Mohiuddin Azim, residential medical officer said.

“The rest of them have been given primary treatment,” he said.

All of them were first-year students.
