CMU said in a statement that the decision was made by CMU Dining Services and La Prima Espresso in consultation with the Allegheny County health department. The cafe had posted a notice Wednesday saying it was pulling some food items.
La Prima, which is at CMU's Wean Hall, is normally closed on weekends and is scheduled to reopen Monday.
Health department spokeswoman Melissa Wade said the cause is still being investigated.
