Salad is supposed to be good for you, unless it comes from the Olive Garden and causes the intestinal illness that is the latest public health problem linked to contaminated food.
The federal agency said its investigators have traced the outbreak to four "illness clusters" of restaurants, which spokeswoman Theresa Eisenman later identified to CNN as Red Lobster and Olive Garden locations. The probe didn't find indications that any bags of salad mix with the rare type of parasite -- known as cyclospora -- were sold at U.S. grocery stores.
The tainted salad mix came from Taylor Farms de Mexico, "a processor of foodservice salads," according to the FDA.
Darden -- the parent company for Olive Garden, Red Lobster and other restaurant chains such as LongHorn Steakhouse -- described the August 2 announcement from the FDA as "new information."

Heath authorities were only a week late in discovering the Olive Garden was to blame.

(65,616 posts)I figured if the police we kewl with it, I'd be kewl too...but the cubs were kinda smelly and I think the staff let one lick my bread sticks before they brought them to me.
I also saw an ostrich in riding boots and roaming monkeys repeatedly punching pit bulls on the butt.
Really, a typical day at the OG.
