A Salmonella outbreak that is unrelated to Foster Farms chicken has sickened at least seven people in California, Food Poisoning Bulletin has learned. Several of those who became ill are residents of Shasta County. It’s possible that one illness in another state is also part of the outbreak.
A spokesperson from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) said state health officials are working together with local jurisdictions on an investigation of an outbreak of Salmonella Lomalinda infections, but would not provide further information saying “CDPH does not comment on ongoing investigations.”
Bailey’s Choice Dog Treats of Georgia is recalling some packages of certain chicken jerky treats because it may be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. The chicken treats are in various sizes and with these lot dates: June 5, 2013 and October 8, 2013. Those two lots tested positive for the bacteria.
