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

On Thursday, Galindo was taken off of life support, ending a weeks-long battle,
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.
