At least five people have been hospitalized in a Salmonella outbreak linked to Aladdin Mediterranean Café in the Clairemont area of San Diego, according to the county health department. Fourteen customers who dined at the restaurant in April, located at 5420 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard in San Diego, developed Salmonella infections.
Investigators are still working to pinpoint the food source that sickened the patients, who range in age from 18 to 79 years old.
