    Salmonella contamination associated with Schwan's ice cream

    Minnesota health authorities reported 67 salmonella enteritis cases in southern Minnesota and found a strong statistical link to Schwan's ice cream. Schwan's stopped production and sales and warned consumers not to eat its ice cream. Investigators traced the contamination to a contractor's tanker truck that had been inadequately cleaned after transporting raw, unpasteurized eggs.
