33 Salmonella cases at Ontario Pita Pit

The London Free Press reports that 33 people are now reporting symptoms of Salmonella believed linked to the Pita Pit at the University of Western Ontario Community Centre.

Dr. Bryna Warshawsky, associate medical officer of health with the Middlesex-London health unit, said 15 of the salmonella cases have been lab-confirmed.

The health unit has inspected the restaurant twice since the issue first surfaced, said Warshawsky, and deemed it safe to operate. The task now is to determine if the outlet received contaminated food product, or if something happened there.
