Salmonella was confirmed in a number of people hospitalized earlier this month after consuming a traditional Ecuadorean dish containing guinea pig at a Minneapolis street fair. However, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Wednesday that some of the 81 people sickened had not eaten the dish.

The report quoted a city spokesman saying that while the food vendor had a city permit, he sold unapproved food which had been improperly handled.
