Description
A Kirkland restaurant has been shut down by Public Health — Seattle & King County officials after 34 people reported gastrointestinal illness symptoms after eating from the establishment's food truck at a private event.
Tacos El Guero was investigated on Monday by public health officials, after a group reported becoming sick the day after consuming food from the truck on Sept. 14.
Per public health, investigators found a number of potential risk factors for bacterial toxin growth in mobile food trucks and the restaurant. These risk factors included "inadequate refrigeration and improper cooling of food," as well as "inadequate equipment, improper reheating, and lack of managerial oversight."
