Reports say the Minnesota State Fair is the location of the first confirmed case of H1N1 flu virus in a U.S. hog. The fairgrounds had four teenagers sick with the virus.
Officials stressed this incident did not endanger commercial pigs raised for consumption, and that there is not a link between consuming pork products and contracting the virus.
