Bouncing Back to Profitability After Hep-A: Gregg Fraser

  We now know that sea scallops packaged in the Philippines led to the outbreak on Hepatitis A in Hawaii, with the majority of the 206 cases being on Oahu. The products have since been recalled. While that information released from the state Department of Health last week puts an end to the search for the source, it’s just part of the rebound process of the restaurants where an employee had been diagnosed with Hep A. That would include some like a Baskin Robbins ice cream shop where scallops are clearly not on the menu. We called back Gregg Fraser, head of the Hawaii Restaurant Association to get an update on how the affected restaurants are trying to bounce back.
