SHELBYVILLE, Ky., Mar 28, 2008 (UPI via COMTEX) -- The 137 people who got sick
at an Easter buffet at Claudia Sanders' Dinner House in Shelbyville, Ky., may
have been hit with a staph bacteria, officials said.
State health officials say preliminary results from the Kentucky State Lab
suggest staphylococcus aureus might be the source of the food poisoning.
Officials told the Louisville Courier-Journal the famed restaurant, once owned
by Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Col. Harland Sanders and his wife, would be
able to reopen Saturday.
All food products suspected to be tainted were destroyed and the restaurant was
extensively cleaned.
