USA – Outbreak Investigation of Salmonella Infantis Linked to Del Monte Vegetable Trays, Spring 2019

FDA

July 12, 2019

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and state partners investigated an outbreak of Salmonella Infantis with cases reported in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The FDA inspected the Del Monte facility that produced vegetable trays that the Wisconsin Department of Health Services linked to an outbreak of salmonellosis. The facility was in Kankakee, Illinois. The FDA also investigated distribution and supplier information for produce used in the vegetable trays. These investigation activities did not identify a single source or potential point of contamination for this outbreak.

Recommendation

It is not likely that the trays the Wisconsin Department of Health Services warned against eating on May 21are still on the market or still in people’s homes.
