The Shelby County Health Department began investigating the Salmonella outbreak after receiving reports of illness from A & R Bar-be-que customers on July 14, 2009. The majority of the 20 customers reporting illness had either eaten A & R’s food at the restaurant or at a family reunion on July 10 and 11.
The lawsuits on behalf of both father and son were successfully resolved prior to trial.
