An NHS investigation has failed to find the source of a salmonella outbreak that hit Dundee toddlers.
Eight youngsters from the city’s Technotots nursery were struck down with salmonella, with NHS Tayside’s health protection team and city council environmental health officers launching a “wide-ranging” investigation.
However, they were unable to confirm where the Brunel Road nursery’s outbreak stemmed from.

40% of ill persons have been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported.
Most ill persons (74%) have been reported from California.
Epidemiologic, laboratory, and traceback investigations conducted by local, state, and federal officials indicate that consumption of Foster Farms brand chicken is the likely source of this outbreak of Salmonella Heidelberg infections.

The Salmonella outbreak we reported on last week has been confirmed as Salmonella enteritidis, according to MLive. Eighteen cases have been confirmed in Muskegon County. The Muskegon County web site was down at the time of this report.
Officials believe that a single source caused the outbreak, and that people were exposed to the bacteria from October 30 to November 2, 2013. Seventeen of the eighteen cases are related. There is no information about the source of the bacteria, where the patients ate, or what they ate. Officials are going to start studying epidemiological evidence and will conduct statistical analysis this week.
