Sweden- An outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis with a probable connection to imported eggs is being investigated.

Folkhalsomyndigheten

2024-10-10

Since the beginning of the year, several accumulations of disease cases with Salmonella Enteritidis have been identified where epidemiological investigations have pointed to the consumption of imported eggs. The eggs have been sold both to private individuals in shops that do not belong to the larger chains and to restaurants. Several of the disease cases have consumed soft-boiled eggs or unheated eggs in, for example, mayonnaise, béarnaise sauce, Skagen scrambled eggs and pasta carbonara. On several occasions, eggs from private individuals, from shops and from restaurants have been analysed, however, without salmonella being able to be detected.

To avoid becoming infected, raw eggs or foods with raw eggs from countries other than Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark should not be consumed. The risk of infection when consuming such eggs is avoided by heating the whole egg, including the yolk, or the food containing eggs (see the Swedish Food Agency’s recommendations under Read more).

Continued investigative work takes place in collaboration between regional infection control, municipalities, the Swedish Food Agency and the Public Health Agency.

Danger: Possible presence of Salmonella

Salmonella can cause symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever and lethargy after consumption in fragile animals (very young, old, weakened). In healthy animals, salmonella generally causes few or no symptoms. When the animal has eaten the product in question and presents these symptoms, its owner is advised to consult a veterinarian and report this consumption.

In the absence of symptoms, animals can be healthy carriers of salmonellosis, i.e. excrete salmonella in their stools without being sick. A risk of contamination via the excrement of the animal having consumed the product or directly via the contaminated food therefore exists for all persons in contact with the animal or the food concerned. 

The product can be distributed by different points of sale in Luxembourg.

New report looks back on Salmonella outbreak tied to red onions in Canada

Food Safety News

A recently published report has detailed the largest multi-provincial Salmonella outbreak in Canada in more than two decades, linking 515 confirmed cases to contaminated red onions imported from the United States.

The outbreak, which occurred between June and August 2020, affected residents across seven provinces, with 19 percent of those infected requiring hospitalization. The findings, outlined in a report from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and other health agencies, underscore the complexity of foodborne illness investigations and the challenges posed by fresh produce contamination.

A separate report from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2020, found that a sheep farm was likely a contributing factor in the contamination of the onions.

Why is Salmonella such a risk for those over 65?

Food Poison Journal

Salmonella poses a heightened risk for individuals over 65 years of age due to several key factors: Read more at the link above.

As people age, their immune systems naturally weaken, making them more vulnerable to infections, including those caused by Salmonella. The body’s ability to fight off harmful bacteria diminishes, increasing the chances of severe infection.
