Salmonella Tied to Paola High School Illnesses
Kansas officials link an outbreak at Paola High School to salmonella enteritidis after testing stool samples from students and staff. About 109 cases, roughly 17 percent of the school, including teachers, fell ill with a peak on November 5 and 6. Beef and noodles served on November 4 showed a strong association, though no Salmonella enteritidis was found in tested foods and food handling practices were deemed sound.
