Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is advising residents of an increase in the number of Salmonellosis cases reported in the city. A similar increasing trend has been observed provincially.
Since the first of June, 23 cases of salmonella have been reported to OPH, almost double the number of cases typically seen this time of year.
A significant number of these cases appear to be related to undercooked or inappropriately stored processed chicken products.
