HONOLULU — Health officials in Hawaii said they have traced the origin of a recent hepatitis A outbreak to some frozen imported scallops from the Philippines.
The state health department said Wednesday the scallops were distributed by Koha Oriental Foods on the islands of Oahu and Kauai, and were packaged by Sea Port Bay Scallops.
Health officials are advising consumers to stay away from the affected scallops, which were also served raw at Genki Sushi restaurants in Hawaii, the Star Advertiser reported. All 10 Genki restaurants were ordered closed by the health department.
