One of 10 people sickened last month by a tainted batch of nacho cheese from a C
alifornia gas station has died, health officials said Monday.
Martin Galindo, a 37-year-old father of two, died after contracting the foodborn
e disease botulism, his family shared on a GoFundMe page.
On Thursday, Galindo was taken off of life support, ending a weeks-long battle,
his family said.
Martin Galindo, 29, was taken off of life support after being hospitalized for b
otulism, his family said.
Tests have meanwhile confirmed that a cheese product supplied at the Valley Oak
Food and Fuel gas station in Walnut Grove, Sacramento County, contained a toxin
that causes botulism, which is spread through contaminated food or water, Califo
rnia s Department of Public Health said on Monday.
Though the CDPH did not identify last week s fatality by name, the San Francisco O
ffice of the Medical Examiner confirmed Galindo s death, as well as a related botu
lism investigation, to the Sacramento Bee.
Botulism is the same foodborne disease that has been linked to the sickening of
nine other people who consumed the gas station cheese, including a mother of thr
ee who was placed in intensive care.
The CDPH said the gas station stopped selling the cheese sauce on May 5 and they
believe there is no continuing risk to the public.
Botulism, whose symptoms including vomiting, blurry vision, slurred speech, dry
mouth and gradual paralysis, is a rare illness that results in death just 3 to 5
percent of the time, according to the CDPH.

The back-and-forth between the two men was tense at times, as Gowdy pressed Bren
nan on the issue.
Did you see evidence of collusion, coordination, conspiracy between Donald Trump
and Russian state actors? Gowdy asked.
I saw information and intelligence that was worthy of investigation by the bureau
to determine whether such cooperation and collusion was taking place, Brennan re
sponded.
That doesn t help us a lot. What was the nature of the information? Gowdy shot back,
employing less of the respectful decorum than most of his colleagues used when

no effort to consult with them before putting forward a roster of cuts that C
ongress would clearly find unacceptable. These include slashing agriculture spen
ding for crop insurance and food stamps; a cut of more than 30 percent for the S
tate Department; as well as billions in cuts to an array of other domestic progr
ams from Superfund cleanup spending to student loans.
"You would hope that they would want to ask the folks who know the most about it
," said Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee,
adding he and his staff were not consulted.
