Salmonella cluster traced to Old Town, Wicker Park
Nine cases of salmonella at two Adobo Grill restaurants in Chicago could help federal regulators solve a widespread outbreak of the illness that has sickened at least 383 people in 30 states.
The Chicago Department of Public Health on Wednesday identified the Adobo Grill outlets in Wicker Park and Old Town as the source of a cluster of nine salmonella cases that were disclosed Friday.
David Acheson, a top U.S. Food and Drug Administration official, has had his agency focusing on a cluster of nine cases that originated at two restaurants within the same chain and in a similar location.
With such a cluster, the FDA hopes to track tainted tomatoes through the supply chain to the source of the salmonella bug. While the FDA has said Mexico or Florida are the most likely origins of the ongoing outbreak, it still doesn't know where it started.
