The Kenosha County Health Department has confirmed that 26 people have recently become ill with confirmed Salmonella infections in what appears to be a Salmonella outbreak tied to a common source.
The Baker Street Restaurant & Pub located at 6208 Green Bay Road in the Wisconsin city has been closed by the health department and could be the source of the Salmonella outbreak, although the health department has not released a statement regarding the restaurant’s closure, according to the Kenosha News.
Tom Stemple, an employee of Tricoli Restaurants, which owns the Baker Street Restaurant & Pub, told the Knosha News that a number of people who had eaten at the restaurant were sick with Salmonellosis, the illness caused by the ingestion of Salmonella bacteria, and that the restaurant’s owner was contacting restaurant employees to ensure they were tested for Salmonella.
