Undercooked Turkey Blamed For Salmonella Outbreak
More Than 300 Became Ill
COLUMBIA -- The state health department said undercooked turkey is most likely the cause of the salmonella outbreak that sickened more than 300 people and killed a Lugoff man. Dr. Jerry Gibson of the Department of Health and Environmental Control said the investigation consisted of interviews with sick people who ate at the Old South Restaurant in Camden between May 19 and May 22.
Gibson said other food items also can't be ruled out. The agency tested about twenty specimens from those that were ill. DHEC's investigation found equipment that was not working properly and that may have led to the outbreak..
THANK YOU all4one for that update.
One must never rush cooking turkey.
It's not one of those fast-food things.
