    Ore., Wash Chipotles Close After E. coli Sickens 22

    By PDX Food Dude Last Update October 31, 2015 Leave a Comment

    The Oregon Health Authority is investigating a possible E. coli outbreak at Oregon and Washington Chipotle restaurants.

    PRESS RELEASE: Health officials in Oregon and Washington are investigating an outbreak among people who became ill with Shiga toxin E. coli linked to eating at Chipotle restaurants in the Portland Metro area or several counties in Washington State since October 14.

    As of October 31, there are three cases in Oregon and at least 19 in Washington. One third of cases have been hospitalized, there have been no deaths. Ages range from 11-64 years.

    People in Clackamas and Washington counties in Oregon, and Clark, King, Skagit and Cowlitz counties in Washington have reported symptoms of infection.

    Many people affected with Shiga toxin E. coli may not seek health care, so the number of people made ill by this outbreak is likely more than identified.

    ​​Health officials want people who have eaten at a Chipotle between October 14 and 23, and become ill with vomiting and bloody diarrhea, to see their health care provider and mention this outbreak.

    The Oregon Health Authority, Washington State Department of Health, Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are working with Multnomah, Clark, Washington and Clackamas Counties.

    Chipotle restaurant managers told the Tri-County health officials Friday evening that they would voluntarily close all restaurants in the four county region.
