HONOLULU (AP) — Another food service worker in Hawaii has been diagnosed with hepatitis A.
The state health department said Friday the employee worked at Tamashiro Market on King Street in Honolulu. The grocery store is known for fresh fish and poke, which is made from raw fish.
The supermarket’s president Cyrus Tamashiro says he closed the store Friday and sent all the food handling employees to be tested for hepatitis A. He says none of the food handling employees will be allowed to return until they have tests to show they’re free of the virus.
The state Department of Health says there were 135 confirmed hepatitis A cases on Oahu as of Wednesday.
Tamashiro’s is the seventh food service establishment where a food handling employee came down with the virus.
