(CNN) — The number of illnesses attributed to salmonella-tainted tomatoes jumped to 228, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday. The CDC found 61 new cases of Salmonella Saintpaul infection in six new states — Florida, Georgia, Missouri, New York, Tennessee and Vermont. Infections have now been found in 23 states since mid-April, the CDC said. Additionally, the agency said that a man in his 60s who died of cancer had a Salmonella Saintpaul infection, but his death has not been attributed to the outbreak. |
