Japanese Restaurant Violating a Dozen Safety Protocols; After Sickening Customers
A full-service Japanese restaurant, Sushi Bomb of Robinson Township, Pennsylvania, was found to be violating over a dozen food safety violations after customers reported food poisoning.
One customer who ate sushi at Sushi Bomb over the Easter weekend, shared with WPXI News that “I took some Pepto and then I started throwing up, and then I kept throwing up, I think I threw up like 10 times.” Another one of the multiple customers that reported food poisoning symptoms after eating at Sushi Bomb added, “The vomiting was like the most painful bout I’ve ever had. I felt like my chest was constricting on itself. It was pretty extreme.”
While it is unconfirmed what form of food poisoning the customers were suffering with, symptoms of dehydration, nausea, and fatigue were common among the individuals taken ill.
According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms often common in those taken ill with food poisoning include an “upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, diarrhea with bloody stools, stomach pain and cramps, fever, and headaches.” More severe cases often include “blurred or double vision, headache, loss of movement in limbs, problems with swallowing, tingling or numbness of skin, weakness, and changes in sound of the voice.” In some cases, especially for the very young, elderly and those with compromised immune systems, death can result.
Reportedly, when food safety inspectors arrived at the scene of Sushi Bomb restaurant, they found over a dozen violations. These included problems with employee hygiene, perishable food stored at 52 degrees, mold and food residue,” WPXI reported.
Sushi Bomb restaurant verbalized that they are working to fix those violations, and the health department affirmed that the restaurant will not be shut down, but will be monitored.
Consumers who experience the prior-mentioned symptoms or any adverse reactions after eating at Sushi Bomb, or any restaurant, should be prompt in contacting their personal healthcare provider and alerting local public health safety officials.
