Woods Hill Table Reopens After Salmonella Cluster

Woods Hill Table reopened Sept. 22, weeks after a salmonella cluster that lab testing tied to 14 cases — nine employees and five customers, most of whom ate there between Aug. 20 and 22. Public Health Director Melanie Dineen, who was at the restaurant ahead of the reopening, said officials are confident the control measures in place will prevent additional illness; workers need two negative tests before returning. Owner Kristin Canty said the West Concord restaurant is "looking forward to welcoming our neighbors and friends back."
