The Central District Health Department (CDHD) is investigating a salmonella outbreak associated with the Boise Co-op deli – specifically food purchased from the deli after June 1, 2015.
As of June 16, 2015, 100 cases of Salmonella are associated with this outbreak. Preliminary test results showed Salmonella growth in raw turkey, tomatoes and onion. However, additional laboratory tests are pending.
Boise’s Central District Health Department (CDHD) informed the Boise Co-op on June 15th that lab results confirmed the presence of Salmonella in several foods from the Deli. According to the CDHD, foods that were found to be contaminated include tomatoes, onions, and raw turkey. These were foods coming out of the Deli, not the Produce Department. According to CDHD, the Salmonella contamination of the raw produce was a result of possible cross-contamination.
