A Salmonella outbreak associated with two Burger King restaurants in Bemidji, Minnesota has sickened at least 27 people, according to news reports quoting the Minnesota Department of Health. Those cases have been confirmed in this Burger King Salmonella outbreak, and there are four more pending probable cases.
Both of the restaurants voluntarily closed on Thursday, November 30, 2017. Apparently most of the illnesses were identified in September, but two more people were diagnosed with Salmonella food poisoning this week.
Doug Schultz of the Minnesota Department of Health told the Bemidji Pioneer, “They may have been sick a couple of weeks or so before then. It takes a while before people get symptoms, and then they’re sick enough to go to the doctor, and then we identify.”
