A 21-year-old Kansas City man has been charged with food adulteration at the Hereford House restaurant at Town Center in Leawood. This contamination occurred for almost a month.
Johnson County District Attorney Stephen Howe said the investigation is ongoing, and additional charges aren’t off the table.
“Both the FBI and Leawood Police acted immediately to stop that from continuing,” Howe said. “Our concern is that bodily fluids were used to alter the food, and so, by virtue of that, we’re concerned about the public’s health.
I will be watching this case to see how it plays out. It also highlights the need to have suitable employee hiring procedures in place.
