AHS expands window of illness at Saskatoon Farm restaurant – CTV

July 29, 2025

Alberta Health Services (AHS) has expanded the window of possible cases of illness connected to a restaurant at the Saskatoon Farm after several more cases of a parasitic infection have been found.

AHS says nine cases of Entamoeba histolytica, a parasite that can cause dysentery, have been identified in people who ate at the restaurant east of Okotoks, Alta.

The agency now says that anyone who dined at the Saskatoon Farm’s restaurant between July 1 and 18 could be at risk. The previous time frame was July 1 to 16.

AHS says it has fielded an increased number of calls to 811 from Albertans reporting symptoms, but only laboratory presumptive case numbers will be released.

As of July 28, there were 26 probable cases of E. coli linked to Saskatoon Farm.

Three people have been hospitalized because of the incident, but two of those patients have since been discharged.
