Cases ranged from 43 to 79 years (median 63.5). Sixty percent (60%) were male. Five of the six cases had serious underlying health conditions, which put them at high risk for Listeria infection. All six were hospitalized, and three out of these six cases have died. Illnesses ranged from February 27 to July 22, 2023. These cases were residents of Pierce (5) and Thurston (1) County.

Thailand issues Streptococcus suis warning as 2 dozen deaths reported

Posted on November 6, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

Health officials in Thailand are urging people not to eat raw or undercooked pork after hundreds of cases and two dozen deaths were recorded.

From January to November 2023, there were 500 Streptococcus suis cases with 24 deaths in several different provinces, according to the Department of Disease Control (DDC).

Patients reported eating raw or undercooked pork, meals with pig’s blood as well as working with potentially infected animals.

Officials highlighted a trend on social media that involved eating raw food and drinking alcohol but said this puts people at risk of being infected.

Hong Kong – Kindergarten teacher and 10 kids affected in suspected food poisoning cluster

Posted on November 6, 2023 by | Leave a comment

The Standard HK

The Centre for Health Protection is now investigating a suspected food poisoning cluster affecting 10 children and a female teacher who have consumed steamed rice with pumpkin and diced pork.

The cluster involved eight boys and two girls, aged 3 to 5, and a female teacher, who developed abdominal pain and diarrhea about 5.5 to 15 hours after having lunch at a kindergarten in Eastern District on Wednesday.

One of them sought medical advice and none required hospitalization. All the kids and the teacher are in stable conditions.

Initial investigation of the CHP revealed that the affected persons had consumed common food and the food concerned was steamed rice with pumpkin and diced pork.

The poisoning might have been caused by Bacillus cereus or Clostridium perfringens; the CHP noted.

“The personnel from the Centre for Food Safety of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department have conducted an investigation at the concerned premises. The CHP’s investigation is ongoing,” it said.
