DeFusco Bakery Salmonella Shutdown

Posted on April 18, 2011 by PritzkerLaw

Rhode Island health officials have ordered the closing of DeFusco Bakery facilities in Johnston and Cranston while they continue to investigate a Salmonella outbreak that has killed two people and sickened 77 others. The state health department also ordered that all employees of DeFusco's submit to stool samples for Salmonella testing.

The compliance order also states that DeFusco’s must get written permission from HEALTH before selling or discarding any bakery equipment and must provide any information related to the investigation that HEALTH requests.

The outbreak started at a nursing home in Warwick, Rhode Island, in early March after cream-filled zeppole from DeFusco's were served as a treat. Inspectors found food safety violations at the Johnston facility, including egg cartons used to store pastry shells.

National food safety law firm PritzkerOlsen, P.A., is continuing to accept cases from this outbreak. Free consultations about a DeFusco's lawsuit can be started with an online contact to our law firm or by calling an attorney at 1-888-377-8900 (Toll Free).
