Salmonella victims rail at red tape in Illinois inquiry
In Chicago, Salmonella victims described weeks of illness and ongoing fear for their children as Illinois lawmakers heard testimony. Carol Murphy of Naperville detailed nights feeding a dehydrated child while others recalled diarrhea, fever, and pain. Seven families spoke of suffering as investigators traced contamination to Jewel Hill Farm Dairy in Melrose Park and the dairy’s shutdown on April 9 after a prior link on April 1. The outbreak affected 17,000 across six states and an expert testified that up to 11,300 might have been spared if contaminated milk were removed earlier.

Officials noted the consumer illness may reflect common milk sensitivities and no contamination risk was detected.
