A popular gourmet burger chain in Madrid, Spain, is at the center of a food poisoning outbreak that has affected 17 people, with two individuals hospitalized. The incident occurred at two Hundred Burgers locations in the Spanish capital.
The outbreak, which is suspected to be caused by salmonella, has been linked to a truffle egg yolk sauce served at two of the restaurant’s branches. Customers who dined at these locations on August 4 and 5 reported symptoms including fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, according to Express.
A spokesperson for the region stated that public health services are investigating the incident, focusing on the possibility of “contaminated sauces.” As a precautionary measure, health officials are checking approximately 150 people who may have been exposed to the product during the two-day period.
A recall first initiated in June 2024 by Lipari Foods Operating Company, LLC for a number of pre-packaged sandwiches due to potential contamination with Salmonella remains ongoing. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious infections, especially in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems
