5 Minnesotans Sickened by E. Coli Linked to Salad Kits
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Health officials say five Minnesotans have gotten sick from eating salad kits linked to an outbreak of E. coli.
The state Department of Health says the Minnesotans became ill between Nov. 8 and Nov. 16. Two people were hospitalized.
The ill Minnesotans ranged in age from 21 to 91. Officials say nine people from three states have gotten sick. The infections are linked to Fresh Express Sunflower Crisp Chopped Salad Kits.
Health officials are warning consumers not to eat the salad mix, or to throw it out if they have it in their refrigerators.
