US EditionSalmonella Cases Mount as Clairemont Café Linked to Outbreak Re-Opens
- Aladdin Mediterranean Cafe in Clairemont reopened on May 12 after voluntarily closing on May 1 due to a salmonella outbreak linked to its food.
- The closure followed a health investigation triggered by 98 probable or confirmed salmonella cases reported from April 25 to May 1, among diners aged 1 to 90 years old.
- At least nine individuals were hospitalized, and attorneys representing over 50 affected people have filed multiple lawsuits alleging the restaurant’s failure to maintain safe food holding temperatures.
- Attorney Ron Simon noted that the restaurant had been cited seven times previously for not adequately controlling the temperature at which food was kept, while health officials indicated that symptoms of salmonella typically appear between 12 and 72 hours following exposure.
- The reopening suggests officials found no ongoing risk, but ongoing investigations and lawsuits indicate concerns remain about food safety and accountability at the restaurant.
