Reports say the state Department of Health is investigating whether it came from ingredients in a potato salad that Danielson ate at an elder's picnic, where 20 to 60 people likely became ill.
The said he was hospitalized for a day.
Danielson filed suit Aug. 28 in Carlton County and is seeking compensation for medical expenses and loss of wages.
