Source of the Outbreak

All of the people who remembered the type of ground beef they ate and where they bought it reported eating 80% lean ground beef purchased from ShopRite locations in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York before they got sick. Ground beef is the only common food people reported eating. Investigators are working to identify the source of the ground beef sick people ate.

Salmonella in Ground Beef

Ground beef is a known source of Salmonella illnesses. Salmonella germs live in the intestines of people and animals and can be spread through contaminated food, water, food preparation surfaces, and unwashed hands. Salmonella germs are killed when ground beef is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Eating raw or undercooked ground beef can make you sick.

Salmonella
Salmonella disease manifests itself within a few days after infection with diarrhoea,
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.

UK records hundreds of Salmonella cases after travel to Turkey

Posted on July 25, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

kswfoodworld salmonella

Almost 250 Salmonella infections in the United Kingdom since the start of 2023 have been linked to travel to Turkey.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has shared steps to reduce the risk of common infections when going abroad in summer.

The agency has detected a number of clusters of gastrointestinal illness in people returning from Turkey, the majority of whom had been to the Antalya region. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has revealed some clusters are related, which indicates a likely common source of infection.

Between mid-January and July 19, there have been 241 confirmed cases of Salmonella Enteritidis, the majority with specimen collection dates from April onward.

Fifty-six percent of cases are male and the median age is 29 years old. Of the 93 cases for which travel information is available, people reported staying in different hotels in Turkey and most ate a variety of foods at their hotel resort as part of an all-inclusive holiday package.

UKHSA issued a warning ahead of the school summer holidays as the source of illness has not been identified. UKHSA, Turkish health authorities and other international public health agencies are involved in ongoing investigations.
