A Chipotle restaurant in Boston that sickened more than 100 people is back in business this week after receiving the green light from city health officials.
The restaurant, located near the campus of Boston College, closed its doors earlier this month after 136 reported cases of norovirus, a violent stomach illness, were traced to its food.
After a citywide inspection that also turned up health code violations at two other locations, Boston health officials gave the burrito chain permission to reopen the original restaurant as early as last week. However, the opening date was delayed by three days due to an unrelated water leak.
As a show of confidence in the restaurant’s safety, the city’s chief health inspector, William “Buddy” Christopher Jr., had lunch there on Monday “to show the world that we really do think it’s OK,” the Boston Herald reported.
“The Chipotle is probably the best place to eat right now, because it’s the cleanest place in Boston,” Christopher told the paper. “They have a clean bill of health.” For the full article click here
