Salmonella Saintpaul Strikes the Good Earth in Roseville
Between June 13 and June 22nd, 27 cases of Salmonella Saintpaul were reported to the Minnesota Department of Health. Those sickened had all consumed jalapeño peppers at the Good Earth restaurant in Roseville, Minnesota.
Seven of those sickened were Good Earth employees while the other 20 were customers of the restaurant.
These cases are part of a multi-state Salmonella Saintpaul outbreak that has over 1300 confirmed cases. People have been sickened in 43 states, the District of Columbia and Canada.
The FDA initially reported that tomatoes were the likely source of the outbreak. After two months, however, people were still getting sick and the FDA had not found clear evidence that tomatoes were the source of the outbreak.
People in Minnesota were not sickened until several weeks into the outbreak. It took the Minnesota Department of Health only 2 weeks to find the source of the outbreak, jalapeño peppers.
Because the Minnesota Salmonella Saintpaul cases are associated with a restaurant, those sickened may have a claim against Good Earth for medical expenses and compensation for injuries, including pain and suffering.
