The Minnesota Department of Health has linked more than two dozen cases of salmonella to two Burger King restaurants in Bemidji, MN.

Health officials have connected the two fast-food restaurants to 27 confirmed cases and another four probable cases of salmonella. Both locations have been voluntarily shut down for a thorough decontamination. In addition, all employees are being tested for the bacteria. The locations are slated to re-open later this week, pending health department approval, The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
