As of noon today, a total of 678 people have reported that they became ill after they ate food purchased from the Pars Cove Persian Cuisine booth at Taste of Chicago—up from the 636 reported Tuesday.

Eighty-five of the 678 are laboratory-confirmed cases of salmonellosis, with more results pending—up from the 66 reported yesterday. Of the 85, 47 have been identified as Salmonella Heidelberg, one of the more common Salmonella serotypes in the United States.

A total of 25 people are known to have been hospitalized—unchanged from what CDPH reported on Tuesday.

Lawsuits have already been filed on behalf of people sickened in this Salmonella outbreak linked to hummus served at the Pars Cove booth.
