CDC Narrowing Search for Salmonella Source That Has Sickened 278

The CDC has announced that they have narrowed down the source of a major salmonella outbreak.

Two hundred and seventy-eight people, in eighteen states, have been made ill by tainted chicken.

The strains of salmonella have so far been quite difficult to treat with antibiotics, but no one has died.

According to the organization, they have traced the tainted chicken to three Foster Farms plants.

No recall has been announced, as the CDC has been unable to narrow the search down to specific products.

At this point, they are advising consumers to simply ensure that the chicken is properly cooked to one hundred and sixty-five degrees.

A meat thermometer is the best way to be sure that the temperature has been reached.
