UK – E. coli O157 associated with venison products

HPS

As at 4 September 2015, nine cases of infection with the same strain of Escherichia coli O157 PT32 have been reported from across Scotland, associated with the consumption of venison products.

All cases had either consumed products (steaks, grillsteaks, sausages and meatballs) which had been purchased raw from a wide range of outlets and cooked at home or were fellow household members and likely to be secondary cases.

HPS, Food Standards Scotland, and NHS board health protection colleagues are investigating.
