More Victims in Illinois Salmonella Outbreak
The central and downstate Illinois Salmonella outbreak associated with Subway restaurants has grown from 34 to 48 cases.
Today's update on the Subway Salmonella outbreak came from the Illinois Department of Public Health. The agency said 17 outbreak victims have been hospitalized with infections of a rare Salmonella strain known as Hvittingfoss..jpg)
The outbreak involves people who reported eating at Subway locations in 18 Illinois counties. The grouping includes Bureau, Cass, Champaign, Christian, Coles, Fulton, LaSalle, Macon, Marshall, Moultrie, Ogle, Peoria, Sangamon, Schuyler, Shelby, Tazewell, Warren, and Will.
Illnesses are reported to have started between May 11 and May 25 and cases range in age from three to 88-years-old. So far, a specific food source has not been identified as the source, but epidemiologists found a strong correlation between illness and eating at Subways in certain Illinois counties..
