King County Public Health is investigating a Salmonella outbreak connected to the deli at Costco in Issaquah.

The health department announced Thursday that seven cases have been reported and one person has been hospitalized dating back to August 28.

"The service deli prepares and sells ready-to-eat foods, including rotisserie chicken, pork ribs, sandwiches, wraps, macaroni and cheese, poke, cilantro lime shrimp, and shrimp cocktail," the department's website said.
