The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is investigating a cluster of five illnesses caused by the bacteria Salmonella Typhimurium among children from the Twin Cities metro. The families of two children reported that they consumed unpasteurized milk. Information could not be obtained from the remaining families, but the bacteria from the cases were found to be identical through laboratory analysis. This indicates the infections came from the same source.
The cases include children ranging in age from 3 months to 10 years who became ill between the end of June and early July. One child was hospitalized.
