Salmonella Outbreak in Federal Penitentiary in Waymart, Pennsylvania

Posted on July 18, 2011 by PritzkerLaw

Over 300 inmates and staff who ate tainted chicken at the U.S. Penitentiary-Canaan in Waymart, Pennsylvania were sickened by salmonella poisoning. "Tainted chicken" served in fajitas on June 25 has been confirmed as the cause of the outbreak at the prison 135 miles north of Philadelphia, according to Lamine N'diaye, a spokesman for the federal Bureau of Prisons northeast regional office.

The chicken was prepared in the prison kitchen, which was closed when inmates and staff fell ill soon after eating the chicken, according to the Associated Press.
