Dozens Fall Ill After Eating At Peoria Banquet

Dozens of people have gotten sick after eating at a banquet this week at a Peoria steakhouse.

A Peoria City/County Health Department investigation found a norovirus sickened almost 40 people who attended the event at Alexander's Steakhouse. Health administrator Greg Chance says those who were ill had vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Chance says they attended an end-of-season event for a high school soccer team.

Chance says the restaurant has been "very cooperative." He says an inspection of the restaurant's food service "revealed no significant findings." Chance calls it an "isolated incident." He says only a few of the ill individuals sought medical attention and all are recovering.

Samples from the restaurants were sent to a Springfield for testing.
