Salmonella Outbreak


The number of deaths linked to the salmonella outbreak has climbed to seven. An eighty year old Minnesota woman died and although her exact cause of death has yet to be determined, health officials say there is a link to the outbreak.


The Peanut Corporation of America plant in Georgia, which made peanut butter and peanut paste, has been shut down. The plant is being blamed for the outbreak.


Over 500 people have been sickened by peanut butter or peanut products . Diarrhea, fever and stomach aches are all symptoms of salmonella.
