CDC On The Lookout For Source Of Salmonella Outbreak

WASHINGTON - The Centers for Disease Control is looking for a culprit after a salmonella outbreak sickened 93 people in 19 states and the District.

And the culprit could be sushi.

Since late January, eight people in Maryland, five in Virginia and two in the District have become sick. Only ten people nationwide have been hospitalized and no deaths have been reported.

In its release, the CDC is not blaming any food at this point, and it is not advising consumers to avoid any specific foods or restaurants -- but it does say many of those who got sick reported eating sushi or sashimi in the week leading up to their illness.
