OK, maybe sushi doesn’t kill you, but this is definitely not good news for sushi lovers such as myself.
Government health officials are investigating a growing outbreak of salmonella food poisoning possibly tied to restaurant sushi that may have sickened at least 93 people in 19 states and the District of Columbia. The outbreak of salmonella Bareilly that may have sent at least 10 people to the hospital is mostly clustered on the eastern seaboard and the Gulf Coast, although cases have been reported as far west as Missouri and Texas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
What’s worse is that it also says “spicy tuna roll sushi [is] ‘highly suspect.'” Just the thing I like eating the most. That’s just great. Maybe it’s time for me to go on a no-sushi diet for a while. 🙁
