Hospital Salad Bar Linked to National Outbreak | Montpelier News

Sixteen people, including ten staff, at Cheshire Medical Center in Keene, New Hampshire, have tested positive for cyclosporiasis linked to Taylor Farms lettuce served in the hospital cafeteria — part of a massive nationwide outbreak now hitting nearly 4,200 people and causing over 300 hospitalizations. While no patients were infected, the hospital has shut down its salad bar and urges everyone to wash hands and rinse produce. Vermont’s health department is tracking separate, unrelated cases — mostly tied to travelers — since Taylor Farms doesn’t supply there. The FDA is racing to trace the contamination’s origin through the national supply chain. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
