Very unusual to have a national brand, fast-food burger operation involved in an outbreak. The article indicates cases since September, with 4 more cases now. This would tend to indicate more of an environmental point source contamination in the restaurant rather than a particular food (unless the food supplier has a point source environmental contamination issue).

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Two Burger King restaurants in Bemidji have been forced to shut their doors following a salmonella outbreak.
The Minnesota Health Department tells the Star Tribune that since September, they’ve confirmed 27 cases of salmonella linked to the two fast-food restaurants.
Officials say there are four other possible cases.
Both of the Burger King locations closed voluntarily Thursday to undergo a thorough decontamination process.
