MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A national salmonella outbreak appears to have reached North Dakota with the state confirming a case matching the others.

So far nearly 350 people have been sickened in 30 states including 12 cases in Minnesota.

The state health department says they found the cucumbers were distributed to more than 100 customers in North Dakota and Minnesota.

That may include retailers and restaurants.
