Public health officials are investigating an outbreak of salmonella linked to food served at one restaurant booth during the recent Edmonton Folk Music Festival.
Nineteen lab-confirmed cases of salmonella have been linked to exposure to food bought at the Haweli Restaurant booth at the festival last month.

The outbreak poses little ongoing risk to the public, Alberta Health Services said in a news release Friday.
The restaurant owners have been co-operative with public health officials, AHS said, and no cases of the illness have been linked to the Haweli Restaurant itself, only to food served at the festival from Aug. 10-13.
