Today, that number jumped to 14 with at least 2 people still hospitalized. The department confirmed 14 cases of E. coli O157: H7 stemming from the Chicken & Rice Guys Allston location, which supplies food to the chain’s other outposts. The problems led to the suspension of its operating license. The company’s four food trucks, which rotate locations around Greater Boston, were taken off the road Tuesday afternoon. According to Boston Inspectional Services, the city received an anonymous complaint and opened an investigation Tuesday. Public health officials remained at the Allston site throughout the afternoon trying to determine a specific source of the outbreak.
