Netherlands – Netherlands records more than 700 outbreaks in 2019

Posted on November 16, 2020 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

More than 700 food-related outbreaks were reported in the Netherlands in both 2018 and 2019.

In 2018, 756 foodborne outbreaks with 2,805 illnesses were recorded and in this past year 735 outbreaks with 3,058 illnesses were reported. The number of outbreaks went up from 2017 but illnesses declined.

The data comes from an overview by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) of the main zoonoses and their prevalence in the country for the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA). It features 2018 and 2019 figures. The NVWA did not report 2018 outbreak data in 2019 because of a technical issue.

Norovirus was the main cause of outbreaks with 16 and 17 in 2018 and 2019, respectively, and most patients in both years with 370 and 375. The number of outbreaks is lower than 2017 but higher than 2016.

Canada – Sarnia – Bad hummus most likely source of Salmonella outbreak

Posted on November 16, 2020 by | 2 comments

The Sarnia Journal

The exact source of a food poisoning outbreak that sickened about 200 people may never be known, although contaminated hummus has been fingered as the most likely suspect, Lambton Public Health said.

Forty-five people were lab-confirmed to be infected with Salmonella and another 185 reported feeling sick after eating at the Barakat restaurant in Sarnia and Barakat food truck in Corunna in late October.

An investigation involving local, provincial and federal officials did not identify a specific food, but officials suspect cross-contamination of multiple dishes with hummus the most likely source of contamination, the health unit said.

“Many of these foodborne investigations are not conclusive in their cause, and this is one of those,” said Dr. Sudit Ranade Ranade, Lambton’s medical officer of health.

When the restaurant and food truck are ready to reopen they will be re-inspected.
