A deadly outbreak of salmonella illnesses traced back to cucumbers imported from Mexico has infected nearly 900 people since the beginning of the outbreak last year.
Officials at FDA say since the last update on the outbreak in November, 50 additional people have been reported ill and another two have died. This brings the official case count to 888 illnesses and six deaths across 39 states, though the CDC says Salmonella infection is not thought to be a contributing factor in the two latest deaths.
