Vanzo's linked to Salmonella Outbreak

Five confirmed cases of Salmonella poisoning may be linked to Vanzo’s bar and restaurant in Edwardsville, Illinois.  Of the 5 cases, 4 reported eating at Vanzo's on February 21 or 22.

Vanzo’s has closed, and heath officials are taking samples of food, etc., hoping to find the source of the outbreak.  

According to a story in the Belleville News-Democrat:

The health department is interviewing both ill and well patrons who frequented Vanzo's between Feb. 21 and Monday. Corona [Toni Corona, Madison County Public Health Administrator] asked that people who were at Vanzo's during that period call 692-8954 for an interview, which can be conducted via telephone.

Corona said the four people who ate at the restaurant and suffered salmonella had sought medical attention and underwent testing that confirmed the illness. She said it's possible that other people who ate there have suffered the illness but were not aware that their symptoms were caused by salmonella.

Restaurants are responsible for injuries suffered by patrons.  Even if health officials do not uncover the source of the outbreak, anyone diagnosed with Salmonella poisoning should contact Salmonella lawyer Fred Pritzker, one of the nation’s leading food poisoning litigators.  Fred and his team at Pritzker | Ruohonen have recovered millions for victims of food poisoning, including a recent settlement for $6,425,000.  To contact Fred Pritzker or another lawyer at the firm, please call toll-free at 1-888-377-8900 or submit the firm’s online consultation form.
