“Here we go again,” said attorney Eric Weinberg after learning about the recent Grant County Salmonella outbreak, linked in part to an Arby’s Restaurant located in Moses Lake, Washington.

There have been 17 confirmed cases over the past 6 months. In an earlier statement, the county health department said that the outbreak was caused by an uncommon strain of Salmonella known as Salmonella serotype senftenberg.

The Grant County Health District is actively investigating the outbreak; some of the 17 known cases have not been directly traced to Arby’s. Meanwhile, the restaurant is not operating.

Attorney Eric Weinberg, along with co-counsel Andy Childers of Atlanta, Georgia, currently represent dozens of individuals who became ill with Salmonella food poisoning after eating at an Arby’s located in Valdosta, Georgia.
