Salmonella Associated with Los Tres Amigos

By Pritzker | Ruohonen

At least 6 people who ate at Los Tres Amigos in Wood River, Illinois, contracted Salmonella infections (salmonellosis), according to the Madison County Health Department. Health officials believe that this Illinois Salmonella outbreak may be connected to the current nationwide outbreak of Salmonella Saintpaul associated with tomatoes because one of the cases has been confirmed to have a genetic fingerprint that matches the national outbreak pattern.

As of June 24, 2008, the CDC reports that there are 613 confirmed cases of Salmonella Saintpaul in 33 states and the District of Columbia associated with eating raw tomatoes. 45 of the 613 confirmed cases are from Illinois. 

Most of the 613 cases of Salmonella Saintpaul are not associated with eating at a specific restaurant. However, another cluster of Salmonella Saintpaul cases in Illinois has been associated with a restaurant, Adobo Grill. Read about the Adobo Grill Salmonella Saintpaul cases.
