ATLANTA (AP) - Health officials are investigating an outbreak of typhoid fever that has been linked to a frozen tropical fruit product used to make smoothies.
Seven cases have been confirmed - three in California and four in Nevada.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said four of the cases have been linked to a Goya brand of fruit pulp that was used in milkshakes or smoothies. The fruit pulp was made from mamey, a sweet, reddish tropical fruit grown mainly in Central and South America. The company has recalled packages of the pulp.
