The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control is urging anyone who purchased barbecue at a March 30 fundraiser for the Tega Cay Volunteer Fire Department to throw the food away.

Firefighters sold approximately 3,000 servings of food and the York County Public Health Department has identified more than 40 people who became ill. Many people bought barbecue in bulk for freezing and later use.

Tests are under way to identify the cause of the illness.
