The Illinois Department of Public Health has confirmed 86 cases of Salmonella Hvittingfoss from consumers that reported eating at Subway restaurants in 26 counties. The agency previously said that people that ate at Subway restuarants on or after May 10 and became ill should see a health care provider or local health department.

No deaths have been reported from the outbreak, but the age of those sickened ranged from 2 to 70, according to the department. Subway pulled its fresh lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and other items on June 3 and replaced them with a new supply, according to the company.
