In July 2012, Kansas public health officials investigated an outbreak of campylobacteriosis among attendees of a cookout held at a private home on June 30. Some food was prepared at the home, and some food was prepared and brought by guests.

Four outbreak associated cases were identified. No one was hospitalized and no one died. Stool kits were offered but no specimens were collected during the outbreak investigation.

No common exposures other than the cookout were reported. Multiple foods were available. Based on the food histories of the four cases and nine non-ill individuals, the cause of illness could not be conclusively linked to a food item.
