Forty-six people were hospitalized in a "foodborne illness outbreak" after sharing a dish at their workplace in Maryland, officials said.
The Howard County Fire & Rescue said it responded Monday at 3:45 p.m. to the 7700 block of Chesapeake Bay Court in Jessup, about 15 miles southwest of Baltimore, on a report of multiple patients with food poisoning “after allegedly eating the same food.”
The 46, all adults, were evaluated and taken to different area hospitals. All were noncritical, the department said.
The workers reportedly became ill roughly an hour after eating a noodle dish, according to NBC News affiliate WBAL of Baltimore.
