Research – Record High Food Poisoning Hospital Admissions in England Spark Safety Concerns

Posted on March 6, 2024 by | Leave a comment

BNN Breaking

Amid rising concerns over food safety, England has witnessed an unprecedented increase in hospital admissions due to foodborne illnesses, with salmonella, E. coli, and campylobacter infections reaching their highest levels in decades. According to NHS data, between April 2022 and March 2023, there were 1,468 hospital visits for salmonella infections alone, marking a significant spike and highlighting a growing public health issue. Experts debate the causes, citing weakened regulatory oversight and changes post-Brexit, while others point to improved detection methods.

This outbreak was assigned the outbreak code IL2023-1678. An increase in the number of Salmonella cases was identified in September 2023, and the only location found to be common to these early cases was Carniceria Guanajuato at 3140 N.

Research- Notes from the Field: Rapidly Linking an Outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium Infections to Domestically Grown Cantaloupes Through Early Collaboration — United States, 2022

Posted on March 3, 2024 by | Leave a comment

CDC

Summary

What is already known about this topic?

A 2020 outbreak of Salmonella infections was found to be associated with melons after conclusion of harvesting, when melons were no longer likely to be on the market.

What is added by this report?

In 2022, whole genome sequencing (WGS)–based Salmonella surveillance, historical melon farm environmental sampling results, and patient interviews were used to rapidly link a Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak to contaminated cantaloupes.

What are the implications for public health practice?

WGS-based surveillance, combined with rapid collection of epidemiologic data by state and local agencies, can be used to reduce the time to outbreak detection and response.
