LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Kentucky officials said a source of contaminated food would have caused an outbreak. Coli that would have sickened at least 46 people in the state.
The spokeswoman for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Barbara Fox, said six people had been hospitalized because of the outbreak.
Public health officials told the media that, based on interviews with sick people, they thought contaminated food had led to the recent outbreak. Fox said officials did not identify the food product in question.
According to the state's Department of Health, people usually get sick two to five days after consuming contaminated food.
Public health officials announced the outbreak on March 29.
