Aggie Jennings of rural McLean County, North Dakota, catered three events (2 weddings, 1 reunion) in mid-June that led to three separate outbreaks of Salmonella Montevideo. Ms. Jennings' catering operation was not licensed. Salmonella Montevideo is a strain that is often associated with baby chickens, and Ms. Jennings raised chickens. At one catered event, consumption of the potato salad was associated with illness, however no food samples tested positive for Salmonella. At another event, ground beef that had been served as taco meat was associated with illness; the taco meat tested positive for the presence of Salmonella Montevideo. At the third event, shredded beef and noodle salad tested positive for Salmonella Montevideo. Ms. Jennings had purchased her chicks from a hatchery whose chicks had been implicated in an outbreak of the same strain of Salmonella Montevideo in 2007.
