It is unclear how many others fell ill after eating at Dave’s Sushi on April 17. But the issue appears to be more widespread. The health department indicated that additional illnesses were also linked to eating there on April 1, April 8, April 9, and April 10.

The restaurant indicated on their social media that they believed the common ingredient consumed was “FDA-approved, cultured morel mushrooms used in the April 17 special roll.” However, the Gallatin County Health Department indicated that it was still unclear what pathogen caused the illnesses.
