Almost 40 people are part of a Salmonella outbreak traced to eggs from the United Kingdom.
A spokesman for Public Health England told Food Safety News that it does not hold information on the date of onset of illness for all the patients.
“There have been 38 reported cases linked to this incident through analysis of whole genome sequencing data. Cases range in age from 6 months to 85 years; 19 are female and 19 are male. We are aware of two cases having been hospitalized,” the spokesman said.
A notification on the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) portal from early July shows that eggs contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis were subjected to physical or chemical treatment in the Netherlands, which was a commercial decision by the producer.
