Nature's Fair Restaurant Plainville NY Salmonella

Plainville’s Natures Fair Restaurant in Cicero, New York is closed until next Friday following a salmonella outbreak in which 20 people, including an employee, fell ill. The outbreak began in mid-August and has continued through October 19. Some of those who fell ill were hospitalized.

While the restaurant is closed, owner Mark Bitz says it will clean the place top to bottom, test their employees, and also review its practices. Onondaga County Health Commissioner Doctor Cynthia Morrow says she is not certain from where the salmonella originated, but noted that, “We do know that a similar strain, not an identical strain, but a similar strain was found in Minnesota turkeys. We believe that it’s most likely associated with the turkeys but we don’t know that yet,” said Morrow. Morrow said that she expects a few more cases. Salmonella is often linked with turkeys, but health officials cannot confirm that turkeys are to blame in this case
