people at a fundraiser dinner catered by Carnegie Cafe

The Onondaga County Health Department has confirmed
the cause of last month's gastrointestinal outbreak that sickened close to
200 people.
Environmental health director Gary Sauda says two bacteria caused food poisoning during a
fundraising dinner catered by Carnegie Cafe.
"We felt from the start that this was probably
related to procedures relative to preparations and these types of
bacteria are associated with heating and cooling procedures so it all ties
in," said Sauda.
Carnegie Cafe has been cooperating with the
investigation. It recently released a letter describing new measures it's
taking to better prepare and transport food.
