Don Julio's in Corinth, MS Closed in Wake of Salmonella Outbreak
Health officials are investigating twenty-two cases of Salmonella poisoning in Corinth, Mississippi. Investigators are looking at restaurants where those sickened reported eating. According to the Sun Herald, Don Julio's was closed on Thursday:
Health officials had found no evidence of any food contamination at the restaurant, and it was not ordered to close, a sign on the door said.
However, concern about contamination of vegetables from a supplier and the safety of customers prompted the move.
