The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continue to search for the source of a Salmonella outbreak, which began in September and has affected 388 people across 42 states sick, sending about 70 to the hospital. Ohio health officials say that 51 people have become ill since mid-October; 12 of them had to be hospitalized. California is also reporting 51 cases and Michigan had 20 cases, with 7 people being hospitalized. “It is often difficult to identify sources of foodborne outbreaks. People may not remember the foods they recently ate and may not be aware of all of the ingredients in food,” said CDC spokesman David Daigle. “That’s what makes these types of investigations very difficult.”
