Hepatitis A Outbreak Linked to Multiple Taco Bell Locations in Snohomish County

A staff member who worked at multiple Taco Bell locations in King County tested positive for hepatitis A, prompting the Snohomish County Health Department to urge customers who ate at two specific locations to contact their healthcare provider or Public Health. Symptoms of hepatitis A are similar to food poisoning and can take up to two months to show up. The virus typically spreads through fecal contamination and can be prevented with a hepatitis shot.
