All of the cases appear to be linked
to Restaurant Hermanos Chavez and the Carniceria y Taqueria Hermanos, a
Hispanic restaurant and butcher shop located in Newton.
County public health director Doug Urland said that the
restaurant and shop have been voluntarily closed since last Saturday and that
the health department is investigating the Salmonella outbreak.
“We do not know that it is definitely a food product,”
Urland said regarding the source of the Salmonella
outbreak.
Urland also noted that prior to reopening, the restaurant
and butcher shop will have to discard all food items and thoroughly clean and
sanitize the premises. The health department will instruct restaurant employees
on proper food handling and hygiene, he said.
