E. coli outbreak Shuts Down All But One Location of Chicken & Rice Guys

A local group of food trucks and brick-and-mortar restaurant has been forced to close all but one location due to an outbreak of E. coli.

The Boston Globe is reporting that Boston health inspectors have confirmed seven cases of E. coli that have stemmed from the Allston location of Chicken & Rice Guys, which supplies the food to other outlets in the area. The outbreak has resulted in the temporary suspension of its operating license, with the brick-and-mortar locations in Allston, Downtown Crossing, and the Financial District being shuttered and all four food trucks being taken off the road. (The Globe says that as of this evening, the Medford outlet remained open, mentioning that Boston health inspectors do not have jurisdiction over the Medford location.)

The article says that Boston Inspectional Services will have a meeting with the owner of Chicken & Rice Guys on Wednesday morning to decide on a course of action.
