Ongoing investigation into outbreak at Stoney Creek restaurant
In total, there have been 29 confirmed cases of Salmonellosis linked to this outbreak, along with 57 probable cases and nine hospitalizations. Evidence from Hamilton Public Health’s Food Safety investigation and epidemiological analysis of cases suggests cross-contamination contributed to transmission within the premises rather than a sole food item as the source of illness. The investigation identified shredded cheese that tested positive for Salmonella enteritidis. While this finding is significant, the evidence suggests this to be the result of cross-contamination within the premises. At this time, Hamilton Public Health surveillance has not detected or found evidence of the spread of Salmonella cases in the community associated with cheese products identified.
HAMILTON, ON – Hamilton Public Health’s investigation is ongoing into the foodborne illness outbreak associated with the Piper Arms restaurant located at 1786 Stone Church Road E., which was ordered to close on April 13, 2026.
