USA – Missouri LongHorn Steakhouse linked to 68 Shigella Illnesses

Food Poison Journal

The St. Clair County Health Department (SCCHD) and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) continue to investigate the outbreak of Shigellosis caused by Shigella bacteria, a disease that affects your digestive system. As of October 11, 2024, the SCCHD has identified 24 individuals with positive Shigella lab reports and an additional 44 individuals reporting illness consistent with Shigellosis after dining at the LongHorn Steakhouse located at 6115 North Illinois Street, in Fairview Heights, Illinois between the dates of September 20th and September 30th, 2024. Age range of those affected are from age 12 to 80 years of age. A total of nine (9) people have been hospitalized.

LongHorn Steakhouse officials voluntarily closed the Fairview Heights establishment on October 2, 2024 and have fully cooperated with SCCHD and IDPH on the investigation to determine the source of the infections. SCCHD has performed environmental assessments of the restaurant and provided corrective actions and guidance in consultation with IDPH on safe food handling practices, proper handwashing protocols and professional environmental cleaning services to prevent further spread of disease.

Sweden- An outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis with a probable connection to imported eggs is being investigated.

Folkhalsomyndigheten

2024-10-10

Since the beginning of the year, several accumulations of disease cases with Salmonella Enteritidis have been identified where epidemiological investigations have pointed to the consumption of imported eggs. The eggs have been sold both to private individuals in shops that do not belong to the larger chains and to restaurants. Several of the disease cases have consumed soft-boiled eggs or unheated eggs in, for example, mayonnaise, béarnaise sauce, Skagen scrambled eggs and pasta carbonara. On several occasions, eggs from private individuals, from shops and from restaurants have been analysed, however, without salmonella being able to be detected.

To avoid becoming infected, raw eggs or foods with raw eggs from countries other than Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark should not be consumed. The risk of infection when consuming such eggs is avoided by heating the whole egg, including the yolk, or the food containing eggs (see the Swedish Food Agency’s recommendations under Read more).

Continued investigative work takes place in collaboration between regional infection control, municipalities, the Swedish Food Agency and the Public Health Agency.

Luxembourg – Wilderness Pure Snack Horse Lungs from REAL NATURE – Salmonella

SAP

The following product is recalled in Luxembourg:

Name Wilderness Pure Snack Horse Lungs
Brand REAL NATURE
Unit 150 g
Related lot
Use-by date (UBD) – Batch 10/03/2027 – 000012145

28/02/2027 – 000012118

Danger: Possible presence of Salmonella

Salmonella can cause symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever and lethargy after consumption in fragile animals (very young, old, weakened). In healthy animals, salmonella generally causes few or no symptoms. When the animal has eaten the product in question and presents these symptoms, its owner is advised to consult a veterinarian and report this consumption.

In the absence of symptoms, animals can be healthy carriers of salmonellosis, i.e. excrete salmonella in their stools without being sick. A risk of contamination via the excrement of the animal having consumed the product or directly via the contaminated food therefore exists for all persons in contact with the animal or the food concerned. 

The product can be distributed by different points of sale in Luxembourg.
