Description
Three people have died and three others were hospitalized related to a Listeria outbreak linked to milkshakes sold at a Frugals restaurant in Tacoma.
Listeria bacteria was found in the ice cream machines at the location, which were not cleaned correctly, according to a press release from the Washington State Department of Health. No other Frugals restaurants are believed to be affected by the outbreak.
Genetic fingerprinting of the bacteria showed it was the same strain that hospitalized all six people, and later went on to kill three. All six had conditions that compromised their immune systems.
