Form of E. coli, parasite presumed to be culprits in mass illness at Saskatoon Farm food facility
Dozens of people are now believed to have fallen sick after eating at a restaurant at Saskatoon Farm last week, with some people even hospitalized. Alberta Health Services continues to learn more about the nature and severity of a gastrointestinal outbreak at the food facility at Saskatoon Farm. On Friday, AHS said the outbreak is presumed to be the result of a form of E. coli and a parasite called Entamoeba histolytica. 'To date, there have been 18 lab-confirmed cases of E. coli, three of which also tested positive for (Entamoeba histolytica),' the provincial health authority said. 'AHS has identified 235 symptomatic individuals connected to the outbreak and two recent hospitalizations are linked to this incident.' Of the two people hospitalized, Dr. Franco Rizzuti, medical officer of health, said Friday that one has since been discharged, while the other remains under care. The type of E. coli found is Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli, which 'is not toxin-producing and generally goes away without treatment.' AHS said Entamoeba histolytica often has no symptoms, but 'it can cause gastrointestinal illness and, more rarely, severe infection of the liver, lungs, heart and brain.' Rizzuti said the water supply is thought to be the source of this outbreak. He said Saskatoon Farm has since switched to a different water supply. 'AHS is very satisfied that this is safe water on site,' Rizzuti told media on Friday. The restaurant, bakery and red house remain closed. The gift store, clothing boutique, farmer's market and U-Pick orchards are open. The Saskatoon Farm near Okotoks is temporarily closed after multiple diners contracted a gastrointestinal illness last week. The Saskatoon Farm near Okotoks is temporarily closed after multiple diners contracted a gastrointestinal illness last week. Saskatoon Farm posted to its website on Wednesday: 'We are fully co-operating with AHS and are taking all necessary actions to address the situation and work toward a safe reopening in accordance with their directives,' it said. 'At this time, we do not have any information regarding when our food service facilities will be permitted to reopen. 'We will continue to keep our patrons informed as we receive further updates from AHS.' It's believed the illnesses stem from July 15 and 16, specifically, but AHS is looking back to July 1, Rizzuti said, 'out of an abundance of caution.' Anyone who consumed food or drink at the facility between July 1 and 16 and has symptoms is advised to call Health Link at 811 or see their primary care provider. Those with more severe symptoms should consider more urgent care. And those who consumed food or drink at the facility between July 1 and 16 but remain symptom-free are urged to call Health Link at 811 after July 30 for screening. Questions or concerns in the meantime can also go to Health Link at 811.

Dozens possibly ill from stomach sickness at Alberta farmers' market
Alberta Health Services (AHS) has confirmed it is investigating whether two hospitalizations, as well as dozens of reports of a gastrointestinal illness, were caused by several issues at a southern Alberta farmers market. In a statement to CTV News on Thursday, AHS confirmed it is investigating 88 reports of gastrointestinal illness among visitors of the Saskatoon Farm, a farmers market east of Okotoks, Alta. AHS says it ordered the restaurant closed on July 23, the same day the business said it voluntarily closed its doors after it admitted there was an issue with its water supply. Health officials said it will stay closed until test results come back and Saskatoon Farm's kitchen has a 'thorough deep cleaning.' 'Further investigation is ongoing, including additional environmental inspections, outreach to affected individuals to gather detailed information about their symptoms and food history, and a comprehensive review of the drinking water system. At this time, no definitive cause has been confirmed,' AHS said. In a statement on Wednesday, Saskatoon Farm said it is fully cooperating with the directives from AHS and the closure affects its restaurant, bakery and Red House. 'At this time, we do not have any information regarding when our food service facilities will be permitted to reopen. We will continue to keep our patrons informed as we receive further updates from AHS,' the business said. As a result, the farm said its Fiesta Friday on July 25 is cancelled and there will be no food service at the Wellness Immersion Event on July 26. Saskatoon Farm says it still has produce for sale, but all customers should wash them thoroughly at home before consuming them. CTV News' requests for an interview with Saskatoon Farm were not answered. (With files from Timm Bruch)
