Salmonella outbreak linked to peanut butter
The cause of a national outbreak of salmonella typhimurium which has infected 399 people in 42 states is still unknown, but state officials in Minnesota are certain enough that a brand of peanut butter sold primarily to nursing homes, hospitals and schools is the culprit that they’ve issued a warning advising state establishments not to use it.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture and Dept. of Health on Friday issued the product advisory for King Nut creamy peanut butter after preliminary testing found the presence of salmonella in a 5-pound container of the sandwich spread. The brand is primarily used in schools, hospitals, long-term care facilities and restaurants, according to the Dept. of Health.
"We pulled the sample peanut butter from one of the nursing homes that had ill patients connected to this outbreak," says Doug Schultz of the state’s Dept. of Health.
