(AP) WASHINGTON - Federal health officials are investigating a growing outbreak of salmonella that has sickened 90 people in 19 states and the District of Columbia, according to a Food and Drug Administration memo.
The outbreak is "rapid and expanding in number of cases," with seven hospitalizations reported, according to a memo distributed to FDA staff Tuesday morning. No deaths have been reported to date.
The salmonella may be linked to sushi and investigators are focusing on spicy tuna rolls as "highly suspect."
Reports of the foodborne illness have mainly come from the eastern seaboard and Gulf Coast, though cases
