Health officials are working to identify the source of a salmonella scare that sent 10 people to the hospital last week in Norwalk.
“We have not positively linked this to anything yet,” said Tim Hollinger, Huron County health commissioner.
The common thread linking the 10 victims together is that they all ate at Casa Fiesta, 196 Milan Ave., Norwalk on April 24 or 25, Hollinger said.
That restaurant voluntarily closed its doors Thursday while food samples from the restaurant are tested at the Ohio Department of Health to find the source of the bacteria.
