KENT — About 50 people at Kent State University became ill after eating at a restaurant that the company has closed and state health officials are investigating.
Kent health department officials inspected Chipotle Mexican Grill today, a day after students went to the university's health center and Robinson Memorial Hospital with similar symptoms: severe vomiting, diarrhea and nausea.
