An Apple Valley, Minnesota restaurant is suspected as the location of a Minnesota Campylobacter outbreak. According to the Minnesota Department of Health:
We are investigating an outbreak of Campylobacter jejuni (nalidixic acid sensitive) at a high volume restaurant in Dakota County. The outbreak was detected through routine surveillance. Nine laboratory confirmed cases are associated with the outbreak. The median age of cases is 52 years (range, 24 to 60 years). Five (56%) of the cases are female. Two (22%) cases have been hospitalized as a result of their illness.
Cases report eating a variety of chicken and non-chicken dishes at the restaurant between February 9-14. An environmental health inspection of the restaurant found that chicken (a well known vehicle for Campylobacter) was being undercooked at times. Multiple routes of possible cross-contamination with raw or undercooked chicken were also observed.
The Minnesota Department of Health has not yet released the name of the restaurant.
Our Minnesota food safety law firm has been contacted by victims of this outbreak and is accepting cases. We will be taking actions against the suspected restaurant as soon as possible.
