More than 200 people in the U.S. and Canada have been made sick by salmonella traced to unpasteurized orange juice in the past month, U.S. health officials said in Atlanta. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there had been 207 confirmed cases of illness since June 19, including 21 that required hospitalization. Most of the cases were in California, Oregon and Washington, the CDC said. The Food and Drug Administration issued a nationwide health warning July 10 against drinking frozen and liquid unpasteurized orange juice distributed under a variety of names by Sun Orchard Inc. of Tempe, Ariz. Sun Orchard had already recalled the products voluntarily and announced it now pasteurizes all of its juice products.
