In the days since, Cumbus said her daughter has not been able to keep food down and has lost seven pounds.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\">\n<p>On Monday, the St. Louis County Department of Public Health said there were 94 identified cases of E. coli infection, primarily in the Rockwood Summit High School community. The health department linked the outbreak to four separate events &#8220;hosted at or catered through Andre\u2019s Banquets and Catering&#8221; in association with the school.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\">\n<p>In a statement, Andre&#8217;s owner John Armengol Jr. denied that the catering business was the source of the outbreak, and the health department said the business is cooperating with the investigation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\">\n<p>&#8220;Andres is heartbroken for the families that had to go through any type of food poisoning issues as we are aware of how severe they can be and that\u2019s why Andres takes the extra steps to make sure no one ever has to go through with those students had to,&#8221; Armengol said Monday in a statement. &#8220;All of our food is HAACP inspected and USDA certified through our provider.
