salmonella-outbreak

The Illinois Department of Public Health is working with health departments across the state, the Centers for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration to investigate a multistate outbreak of salmonella linked to Brightfarms Brand Sunny Crunch salad produced in Rochelle in northern Illinois. 8 people have been infected in two states between June 10th and 15th 2021. In Illinois, 5 cases matching the outbreak have been reported in the northeastern part of the state. The IDPH is working with local health departments to make sure that any of the salad produced in Rochelle was not sold in other locations where consumers could potentially be exposed. Anyone purchasing Brightfarms Brand Sunny Crunch salad should not eat it and should throw it away or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
