Spain – Food Poisoning Outbreak Hits Gourmet Burger Chain in Madrid

Posted on August 14, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Food Poisoning News

A popular gourmet burger chain in Madrid, Spain, is at the center of a food poisoning outbreak that has affected 17 people, with two individuals hospitalized. The incident occurred at two Hundred Burgers locations in the Spanish capital.

The outbreak, which is suspected to be caused by salmonella, has been linked to a truffle egg yolk sauce served at two of the restaurant’s branches. Customers who dined at these locations on August 4 and 5 reported symptoms including fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, according to Express.

A spokesperson for the region stated that public health services are investigating the incident, focusing on the possibility of “contaminated sauces.” As a precautionary measure, health officials are checking approximately 150 people who may have been exposed to the product during the two-day period.

USA – Washington investigation shows people became sick after drinking unpasteurized, raw milk

Posted on August 14, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

It has been found that two people in Washington drank raw milk from Jim’s Jerseys before becoming infected with Campylobacter jejuni.

The patients became ill in July after drinking the unpasteurized milk produced by Old Silvana Creamery located in Arlington, WA, according to the Washington State Department of Health.

“Raw milk is a high-risk food for causing illness because it is not heat treated (pasteurized) to kill germs that can make people sick. Campylobacter jejuni and other bacteria may naturally be in cattle manure which can contaminate milk during production. . . Consumers who drink milk are encouraged to drink only pasteurized milk.” according to the health department.

Research – Fighting Cronobacter will go far beyond infant formula

Posted on August 14, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Lex Blog

The 2022 infant formula crisis focused renewed attention on the dangers posed by Cronobacter infections to newborns, but recent research has made clear that reducing these risks may be significantly more complex than many of us anticipated.

This conclusion is based on a better understanding of the ecology of the pathogen and, in particular, the results of a recent study released by IEH Laboratories, which provides a further understanding of the bacterial pathogen itself by finding it in the home environment and other foods. It’s become evident that the link between Cronobacter sakazakii and powdered infant formula (PIF) might not be as straightforward as we originally thought. While the conventional narrative has pointed to the production environment as the source of the pathogen, this new research suggests that the home environment and foods also may play a role.
