USA – Norovirus outbreak that sickened more than 300 people linked to an ill food handler at restaurant

Posted on August 21, 2023 by | Leave a comment

ABC News

The source behind a norovirus outbreak that sickened a few hundred people last year has been identified, according to a report published Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The report looked at the outbreak in Tazewell County, Illinois, which includes part of Peoria, which saw 317 people fall ill, all of whom dined at a restaurant — referred to as restaurant A — between Nov. 19, and Nov. 26, 2022.

Investigators with the Tazewell Health Department and Illinois Department of Public Health concluded the outbreak was likely caused by a sick food handler at the restaurant who had ungloved contact with salad, toppings and dressings during food preparation.

USA – Kansas: Trade Winds Bar & Grill Under Investigation for Campylobacter Outbreak

Posted on August 21, 2023 by | Leave a comment

 

 

Outbreak News Today

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is investigating an outbreak of Campylobacteriosis linked to the Trade Winds Bar & Grill in Garnett, Kansas. Symptoms of Campylobacteriosis include diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting. 

To help KDHE in their investigation, KDHE asks anyone who visited Trade Wind Bar & Grill between July 14 and August 9 and then experienced these Campylobacter symptoms to complete a confidential survey.

The Trade Wind Bar & Grill closed on August 9th and remained closed until August 15th. 

People with Campylobacter infection usually have diarrhea (often bloody), fever, and stomach cramps. Nausea and vomiting may accompany the diarrhea. These symptoms usually start two to five days after the person ingests Campylobacter and last about one week. In some cases, individuals can develop more serious complications.

Germany- Mu-err mushrooms in strips, 1 kg – Salmonella

Posted on August 21, 2023 by | Leave a comment

LMW

Alert type: Groceries
Date of first publication: 08/18/2023
Product name:

Mu-err mushrooms in strips, 1 kg

Product images:

L-2023-010894(1).JPG
L-2023-010894(2).JPG
Manufacturer (distributor):

Distributing company Sago Foods sro Liskova 14 34401 Nemanice

Reason for warning:

Health hazard due to microbiological contamination with Salmonella spp. (Section 40 paragraph 1 sentence 1)

Packaging Unit: 1 kg
Durability: putative HSD.20 12 24
Production date: putative NSX.20 12 22
Additional Information:

Salmonella disease manifests itself within a few days after infection with diarrhoea, abdominal pain and occasionally 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.

There is no identification label on the packaging. There are only two imprints on the packaging, which are not clear due to the abbreviations used and the lack of explanations (to them): “NSX.20 12 22” and “HSD.20 12 24”. The goods were found in stores in boxes with the label of the company Sago Foods sro (see name of distributor).
