Peppa's Completes E. coli Training
Peppa's South King in Honolulu -- the restaurant at the center of a Hawaii E. coli outbreak investigation -- has reopened after an intense day of E. coli safety training and other food safety instruction.
The Honolulu Star Bulletin reported that a Hawaii Department of Health worker remained at Peppa's until midnight Thursday working with restaurant staff on a 10-point mitigation plan before the department cleared the restaurant for reopening Friday..jpg)
Peppa's manager John Kim told the newspaper that business was totally dead on the first day back in operation.
The health department has not issued any updates since it was reported earlier in the week that seven people suffered E. coli O157:H7 infections between March 2-23, including four who said they had eaten at Peppa's, 1240 S. King Street. Public health investigators observed food handling violations at the restaurant.
