State health officials did not disclose the facilities’ names but said salmonella cases occurred at two hospitals and two nursing homes.

The FDA has potentially linked a precut fruit mix distributed by Tailor Cut Produce to the illnesses. The healthcare facilities have since discarded this fruit and are working with health officials to investigate the salmonella infections.
