The Saskatchewan Health Authority is investigating an outbreak of salmonella believed to have come from Hogfest in Englefeld on June 30th.
The community east of Humboldt holds Hogfest annually and 750 meals were served.
As of this week, 11 people have reported symptoms related to salmonella after eating at Hogfest.
No specific food exposure has been identified.
The symptoms, which last usually 4 to 7 days, can include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps which begin between 12 to 72 hours after infection.
The SHA is advising anyone who may have leftovers from the event, frozen or otherwise, to dispose of it due to the possible risk of contamination.
Those who ate at Hogfest who haven’t already been contacted through the public health investigation, should call the Public Health Disease Control office in Saskatoon at 306-655-4612.
