In Kentucky, a fast food worker at a McDonald's restaurant may have worked while infectious with Hepatitis A. Those patrons who ate at that McDonalds need to now watch for the symptoms as short window for vaccination with immunoglobulin (<2 weeks) has passed.
More on Hepatitis A transmitted by food from CDC.

In Minnesota, Two Burger King Restaurants Closed After Numerous Cases of Salmonella Infection Linked
In Minnesota, two Burger King restaurants were shut down after at least 27 cases of Salmonella infection have been linked.
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).
