Investigators said they do not believe the contaminated food came from NAFCO. Rather, someone brought in a noodle dish to share with coworkers.
Stanley Pearlman Enterprises, NAFCO's parent company, released a statement last week reiterating that the food in question did not come from its facility stating, in part: "NAFCO operates under the highest health and safety standards in the industry. Our headquarters and facilities are regularly inspected and monitored by the relevant health authorities to ensure compliance with all health and safety regulations."
Health officials believe this is an isolated incident and there is no further risk to the public.
