Burma Superstar, a popular Inner Richmond neighborhood restaurant in San Francisco, was the source of an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak the San Francisco Department of Public Health investigated in August and September of 2013.
Health officials believe 22 people were sickened in connection to the outbreak. Of those diners, 7 were hospitalized. Four E. coli outbreak victims developed hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS).
