Salmonella Outbreak Associated with Fundraiser

Several People who purchased a meal at a fundraiser in Conway, South Carolina, on Nov. 13, 2009, have been sickened with gastroentestinal illness consistent with Salmonella poisoning (salmonellosis). At least 5 people were hospitalized.

“The meals were prepared at a local hunting club and sold at the Cedar Grove Baptist Church in Conway to raise money to benefit the family of an ill child,” said Covia L. Stanley, M.D., director of DHEC’s Region 6 public health office, which serves Horry, Georgetown and Williamsburg counties. “So far, we have received reports of five people hospitalized with gastro-intestinal illness symptoms after purchasing and consuming food from the fund raiser.”

Dr. Stanley said meals sold at the fund raiser included barbeque pork, baked sweet potatoes, cole slaw and rolls.

“Anyone who ate the food from this fund raiser and becomes ill with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramping should take care to wash their hands thoroughly, avoid preparing food for others and contact their healthcare provider right away.”

Dr. Stanley said anyone with leftovers from that fund raiser should not eat or feed the leftovers to animals. Samples of the leftover food are being sent to the DHEC laboratories in Columbia for analysis.
