One person has died in a multi-country Salmonella outbreak linked to salad from Italy.
A foodborne outbreak with about 200 Salmonella Umbilo cases occurred between July and September 2024 in nine European countries. Germany was the most affected with 118 infections.
Salmonella Umbilo was detected in rocket salad (also known as arugula or rucola), and later in baby spinach. According to a study published in the journal Eurosurveillance, both food items came from the same company in Italy.
