The United Kingdom is dealing with a serious outbreak of E. coli and several strains of Salmonella Enteritidis, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
One more case has been added to the ongoing Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O183 outbreak, bringing the total to 25 sick since May.
One person has died; while most patients live in England, others are sick in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
FSA and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) are trying to find the source with help from other public health agencies. Several product supply chains have been investigated, but no vehicle of infection has yet been identified.
FSA is also investigating outbreaks of separate strains of Salmonella Enteritidis linked to Polish eggs and poultry products.
One outbreak is behind 47 confirmed cases, of which 25 were linked to a restaurant and another 18 ill people had probable restaurant exposure.
Polish authorities found Salmonella Enteriditis at one site that sent eggs to the UK. Eggs from this source have also been linked to a second UK restaurant associated with the outbreak.
