HONOLULU (AP) _ The state health department says nine people on Maui have suffered food poisoning since last month after eating spam musubi.
The state says the nine got sick after eating the rice-spam-and-seaweed treats from several vendors.
So far, the poisoning has affected mostly young children between the ages of 3 and 9. Two were taken to the hospital emergency room.
The state is now investigating places that sell and make spam musubi on Maui.
Sanitation inspectors on the island are also conducting random checks of retailers to make sure they are storing musubi at proper temperatures.
They are further making sure that retailers don't sell the musubi too long after the food was prepared.
