SC Conway Church Fundraiser Outbreak
A South Carolina health official says Salmonella appears to be the cause of illness at the Cedar Grove Baptist Church benefit dinner in Conway.
The Conway church fundraiser Salmonella outbreak has sickened about 125 people, including 11 who were hospitalized. The information comes from Jim Beasley, spokesman for the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Beasley told The Sun News newspaper that roughly 1,450 plates were sold at the fundraiser, which was held Friday to benefit the family of a sick child. The meals of barbecue pork, baked sweet potatoes, cole slaw and rolls were prepared at a local hunting club, according to a press release from Dr. Covia Stanley, director of the state health department's Region 6.
Common symptoms have included abdominal cramping, nausea, diarrhea and vomitting
Dr. Stanley urged attendees of the dinner to see a physician immediately if they have any Salmonella symptoms.
