Abstract
This outbreak of over 150 scattered cases differed from the ordinary widespread enteric outbreak in its lack of a common point of assembly and of relationship or acquaintance between any 2 cases. In spite of intensive and far-reaching study no single, most likely source could be identified, although it is clearly indicated that a solid food shipped between states was involved. The study served to direct attention to a large variety of foods and distribution practices deserving more careful control by responsible authorities.Keywords
