# Campylobacter Outbreak in Syracuse Tied to Hinerwadel's Raw Clams

 

 

  The Onondaga County (NY) Health Department is currently investigating a [Campylobacter](http://www.about-campylobacter.com/ "Campylobacter") outbreak among attendees at a clambake at Hinerwadel's restaurant in Syracuse. The Health Department says that all of the 60 confirmed *Campylobacter* illnesses have been linked to a September 15 event for the CNY Builders Exchange held at Hinderwadel's. Approximately 3,800 people attended the event, so it is likely that the number of confirmed ill will grow as others report their illnesses.Notably, this is not the first time that Hinerwadel's has been the source of a large *Campylobacter*  outbreak. Exactly two years before the current outbreak, Hinerwadel's clams caused a *Campylobacter* outbreak that sickened at least 236 people.
