Ten people who ate or worked at the Bamboo Grill in northwest Phoenix in December have contracted hepatitis A, a viral illness that is spread by consuming contaminated food or water.
Despite health officials’ initial belief that none of the three restaurant workers who became ill had contact with food at the restaurant at 3049 W. Agua Fria Freeway, seven diners were infected with the virus. All are recovering.
The source of the exposure remains unclear.
