Investigation underway after Orange County drill leaves 20+ attendees ill from suspected food poisoning

More than 20 attendees at Orange County’s Sept. 9 emergency operations center drill fell ill with vomiting that resembles food poisoning; officials are probing whether a county-approved caterer/vendor was responsible, and sick attendees are being asked to submit stool samples to help identify the virus, bacteria, or toxin involved while the county considers halting the vendor if implicated.
