A Si Casa Flores Salmonella outbreak in Grants Pass, Oregon has sickened several people and hospitalized two, according to the Facebook page of the Josephine County Public Health Department. The health department did not specifically say how many people may have been sickened.
That restaurant is located at 202 North East Beacon Drive in Grants Pass. The health department and Oregon Health Authority are looking for more people who may have been exposed. They are asking anyone who ate at three restaurants that share ingredients from June 25, 2020 to July 7, 2020 to fill out a public health survey. If you ate at one of those venues on those dates, please fill out the survey even if you didn’t get sick. Public health officials will use this information to try to narrow down the list of suspect ingredients.
The three restaurants in question in Grants Pass are:
- Si Casa Flores at 202 North East Beacon Drive
- Si Casa Express at 401 North West F Street
- Xpress Trailer at 502 Union Avenue
Although this restaurant isn’t listed in the Facebook piece, the survey mentions Taquiera Mexico as an affiliated location of Si Casa Flores. Public health officials have conducted and on-site inspection of the facility and collected specimens for laboratory testing.
Anyone who ate at those restaurants since June 23, 2020 and who is experiencing the symptoms of Salmonella food poisoning should contact their doctors. Those symptoms include fever, stomach cramps, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, mused aches, and diarrhea that may be bloody. Symptoms usually start 6 yo 72 hours after infection and can last up to a week.
While most people recover on their own, without medical attention, from this infection, some people can develop serious complications such as sepsis or dehydration and need to be hospitalized. If you think you may be part of this Si Casa Flores Salmonella outbreak, contact your doctor and then contact the health department.
