The law firm’s Bad Bug Law Team represents multiple victims in this outbreak and is continuing to accept new cases.

- Of the 21 food items that were analyzed, one item, cooked chorizo (a type of sausage), tested positive for Salmonella. DNA fingerprints show the type of Salmonella in the sample matching those of the outbreak strain.
- As of May 20, 2013 at least 290 patrons and 4 employees who consumed food and/or drinks at
- Firefly restaurant during April 21-26, 2013 have been identified to be confirmed or probable
- cases of Salmonella infection
- There is no evidence of any disease transmission after the closure of the restaurant on April 26, 2013.
- It is likely that the outbreak was due to local cross-contamination in the restaurant’s kitchen and not from a contaminated commercial food.
