According to Food Safety News, a sports bar in Irvine, Kentucky has voluntarily closed while county and state officials investigate a Salmonella outbreak that has sickened about 60 people. Eight have required hospitalization.

Neither the Estill County Health Department nor the Kentucky Department of Public Health (KDPH) have named the restaurant, but CBS and NBC television news affiliates in Lexington are reporting that the Eagles Roost Sports Bar owner Don Wiseman has confirmed his business is linked to the outbreak.

“I started hearing about people becoming ill and the information I got, there were other places that were implicated, but most of it seemed like it came back to here, or a lot of it came back to here,” Wiseman told NBC affiliate LEX18.com.
