23 Canadians sickened from Salmonella in mangoes from Mexico; outbreak over

In honor of Canadian health types declaring the end of a Salmonella-in-Mexican-mango outbreak, I did what any self-respecting Canadian would do while in Florida in Dec.: go to a Tampa Bay Lightening game made a mango-berry-lime-rum-drink thingy.

The Public Health Agency of Canada has declared the outbreak over, with the last person becoming ill on Aug. 23, 2012.

143 people in the U.S. and Canada were sickened.

The investigation is closed.

Cheers to that.
