Potato salad from Nick & Jimmy's Bar and Grill in Toledo, Ohio, has allegedly sickened about 135 people with Norovirus, a highly-contagious foodborne illness. Nick & Jimmy's provided the potato salad for at least three catered events: a graduation party in Bowling Green, Ohio, on June 15 and two events in Lucas County, an office lunch party on June 16 and a graduation party on June 17. Nick & Jimmy's did not have a catering license.

According to a story in the Toledo Blade, the potato salad served at the gatherings tested "fairly high for fecal coliform." Public health officials said the potato salad was most likely contaminated when a food service employee (apparently one infected with Norovirus) failed to wash his or her hands after using the restroom.
