At least 56 people in eight Washington counties have been sickened by a rare strain of salmonella food poisoning apparently linked to eating pork, health officials said Thursday. Most of the cases, 44, have occurred in King County.
The individual cases and small clusters have occurred in several foods and at several events across the region. Other meat sources could be to blame as well, health officials said.
