Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Rhode Island Bakery Recall
The Rhode Island Department of Health is investigating reports of 19 people who fell ill after consuming zeppoles, an Italian pastry, made by DeFusco’s Bakery in Johnston. Nine of the 19 tested positive for salmonella, while 13 have been hospitalized.
Health officials announced a recall of all baked goods sold at DeFusco’s following an inspection of the Johnston store. Officials say they found pastry cream used in zeppoles and eclairs stored at unsafe temperatures.
The owner of DeFusco’s voluntarily closed the bakery until further notice.
