EU: Nearly 270 cases of chocolate eggs salmonella outbreak

STOCKHOLM (AP) — European health officials say nearly 270 cases of salmonella infection linked to chocolate Easter eggs have now been reported throughout Europe and in North America, the vast majority in children.  No deaths were reported.
