NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials say at least seven people in six states have been affected in a new salmonella outbreak linked to backyard poultry.
Two cases were identified in Missouri, plus one each in Florida, Illinois, South Dakota, Utah and Wisconsin. The specific location of the cases were not given.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the outbreak on Monday. The agency says people got sick in February and March of this year. They all had the same strain of salmonella — a version that has been traced to hatcheries in the past.
