Foodborne illness connected to Iowa farmer’s market?

Something’s going at a farmers’ market in east-central Iowa, with reports surfacing that more than 10 people are sick with foodborne illness, possibly related to a freshly prepared fruit and vegetable product sold at the market.

The Iowa Department of Public Health reminded people visiting a farmer’s market to only buy from vendors who keep freshly prepared fruit and vegetable products cold.

Once you buy the food make sure you store them in a cold place, and eat them within a few days.
