Botulism kills Calif. man

A botulism outbreak linked to contaminated nacho-cheese dip sold at a Northern California gas station has killed one man and left at least nine other people hospitalized, health officials said Tuesday.

The San Francisco County coroner’s office identified the dead man as Martin Galindo-Larios Jr., 37.

The conditions of the other victims, and the status and extent of the investigation into the weeks-old outbreak, were unavailable.

Tests have confirmed the botulism toxin was present in nacho-cheese dip sold at a gas station in the Sacramento suburb of Walnut Grove, the state Health Department said Monday.
