New Hampshire Camp Reopens After Salmonella

By PritzkerLaw

An environmental camp for school children operated in Madison, New Hampshire, has reopened after a Salmonella outbreak sickened dozens of middle school classmates.

National food safety law firm Pritzker Olsen is representing victims of the outbreak, which the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services has traced to a kitchen mixer. According to media reports, the mixer was used to make both pudding and scrambled eggs. Investigators concluded that contaminated pudding was served by Purity Spring Resort, the camp's food provider.

Pritzker Olsen, a highly regarded specialist in foodborne illness litigation, has recovered millions over the years for victims and survivors of food poisoning. Currently, the firm is representing clients around the country in a variety of different outbreaks, including the families of three women who died in the ongoing peanut butter Salmonella outbreak caused by Peanut Corp. of America.

In the New Hampshire case, dozens of middle schoolers attending Stone Environmental School became ill and at least 15 of the illnesses were later confirmed as the same type of Salmonella. While state health officials investigated, the school voluntarily shut down.

David Freese, camp director, told The Union Leader newspaper of Concord, New Hampshire, that a new style of kitchen mixer will be used for food preparation.
