Rockwood Summit E. coli Outbreak
The local health department has announced an outbreak of illnesses linked to two catered events for Rockwood Summit High School catered by Andre’s Banquets and Catering. At least 69 people in 10 states have been sickened. Officials said although current details are suggestive of salad being the source of illness, they have not identified a specific ingredient, nor do they have information on the nature or timing of the contamination. The investigation is ongoing.
On Wednesday, Rockwood Summit High School Principal Emily McCown said the district was contacted by the St. Louis County Department of Public Health in regards to the suspected E. coli infections. An email sent to parents said it was all connected to food eaten at an “end-of-season event,” and on Friday, district spokeswoman Mary LaPak said they are investigating a second school event as well.
