DENVER: A deadly salmonella outbreak that sickened 109 people in 14 US states has been linked to the seafood sold in Colorado's capital city of Denver, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Monday.

'No deaths have been reported but 19 were so ill that they had to be admitted to hospitals,' Food Safety News, an online news publication focusing on food safety, reported about the outbreak, saying the first illness onset date is May 11 and the majority of the people became sick between June 27 and September 7.
