Food Safety News

More people have fallen sick in one of the Netherlands’ largest Salmonella outbreaks ever recorded.

As of mid-September, 171 laboratory-confirmed patients have been identified, including 151 in 2023 and 20 in 2024. Of these, 85 are male and 86 are female.

The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) said that because not all infections are diagnosed or reported, the number of sick people is estimated to be 20 times higher.
