The county health
department continues to focus on the Arby’s restaurant on Stratford
Road in Moses
Lake.
The website also notes that four Arby’s food workers are
included in the 17 cases of food poisoning that have been identified. So far,
direct links to Arby’s have been found in 11 of the cases.
Examination of the restaurant by health officials resulted
in a positive test for the meat slicer. The slicer was the only piece of
equipment to show evidence of Salmonella
bacteria. In the Valdosta, Georgia,
Arby’s food poisoning outbreak, the slicer was also implicated. Victims of the Georgia
outbreak are represented by New Jersey
attorney, Eric H. Weinberg, and Atlanta
attorney, Andy Childers.
The Law Firms of Eric H. Weinberg and Childers,
Buck, and Schlueter have been contacted by and are currently
assisting victims of the Grant
County
Arby’s Salmonella outbreak. If
you or a loved one has been harmed as a result of Salmonella food
poisoning, and you have a question about your legal rights, please fill out a free case evaluation

On August 28, Cargill Meat Solutions, a Wyalusing, PA company, recalled 8,500 pounds of ground beef products due to possible E. coli contamination. The recall comes after the U.S. Department of Agriculture linked the ground beef to three instances of illness in New York and Maine. None of those who were sickened required hospitalization.
On August 20, an additional Iowa company, Hillandale Farms, announced it was recalling 170 million eggs, bringing the total number of eggs recalled due to potential Salmonella contamination to 550 million. The recalled eggs have been implicated in an outbreak of Salmonella enteritis associated with 1,300 illnesses nation-wide.
At least 380 million eggs have been recalled due to possible Salmonella contamination. On August 13, Wright County Egg recalled 228 million eggs sold since mid-May. The recall has recently been expanded to include an additional 152 million eggs. The potentially contaminated eggs have reportedly been distributed to 17 states.
