Burrito Delight Fort Lupton Salmonella Outbreak and Litigation - Colorado (2018)

Salmonella lawyers at Marler Clark represented one of the victims in this outbreak, achieving settlements covering medical expenses, wage loss, and pain and suffering. At this time, this case has been successfully settled.

In February 2018, the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment (WCDPHE) investigated an outbreak of Salmonella illnesses at several locations in Weld County. The source of the outbreak is the Burrito Delight restaurant, which has voluntarily closed both of its locations in Fort Lupton and Dacono. This investigation aimed to determine the specific source of the outbreak.

As of February 22, 2018, there were 21 confirmed Salmonella cases, and a number of probable cases. There were14 cases in Weld County, 3 in Larimer, 2 in Boulder, 1 in Morgan, and 1 in Adams. 4 people were hospitalized as a result of their Salmonella infections.
