According to the Robert Koch Institute, salmonella disease manifests itself within a few days after infection with diarrhea, abdominal pain and occasional vomiting and a slight fever. The symptoms usually subside on their own after a few days. Babies, small children, senior citizens and people with a weakened immune system in particular can develop more severe illnesses. Anyone who has eaten this food and develops severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical attention and report possible salmonella infection. It makes no sense to seek preventive medical treatment without symptoms.

Research – Modeling the growth of Salmonella on sliced cucumbers as a function of temperature and relative humidity

Posted on June 11, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Journal of Food Protection

Recent multistate outbreaks of salmonellosis linked to fresh cucumbers underscore the importance of understanding Salmonella behavior on cucumbers under different storage conditions. No validated models which describe the impact of environmental factors on growth of Salmonella on sliced cucumbers currently exist. This study developed mathematical models to predict the growth of Salmonella on sliced cucumbers at different temperature and relative humidity (RH) conditions. Sliced cucumbers were inoculated with four-strain cocktail of Salmonella and placed in desiccators containing saturated salt solution to create controlled RH environments (~15, 50, 100% RH) at 7, 14, and 21°C for up to 120 h. Predictive models were developed using Baranyi and Roberts equation as a primary model and estimated kinetic parameters were fitted into a square root (or Ratkowsky) equation for secondary models. The maximum growth rates for Salmonella on sliced cucumbers depended on temperature but not RH. The square root model for Salmonella growth was SQRT(μ) = 0.0297 * (T – 6.5185), with a high R 2 value (0.98). The models in this study will be useful for future microbial risk assessments and predictions of Salmonella behavior in the cucumbers to manage the risk of Salmonella on sliced cucumbers.

USA – New E. coli O157:H7 Outbreak Added to FDA CORE Investigation Table

Posted on June 10, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Food Poisoning Bulletin

A new E. coli O157:H7 outbreak has been added to the FDA’s CORE Outbreak Investigation Table. At least 10 people are sick. We do not know the states where the ill persons live, their age range, illness onset dates, or if anyone has been hospitalized. Traceback has been initiated, but no recall has been issued, there has been no on-site inspection or sample collection, and no analysis of any product has started. This new E. coli O157:H7 outbreak is probably associated with an FDA-regulated food.
