Health officials say dozens of people became sick after eating tainted meat, including guinea pig, and other dishes at an Ecuadorian festival in Minneapolis this month.
At least 81 people went to Hennepin County Medical Center and Minneapolis Childrens Hospital with severe gastrointestinal symptoms after eating food served on Aug. 11 by Nieves Riera, the festivals host and one of the vendors.
The Minnesota Department of Health says numerous ill individuals have tested positive for Salmonella.
