One brand of dry exotic fruit mix has been found to be linked to a growing Salmonella Agbeni outbreak in Norway.
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (Folkehelseinstituttet) reported there are 21 confirmed and nine possible cases in an update from the 11 confirmed and 12 suspected infections this past week.
The agency is investigating with local authorities, the Veterinary Institute, and the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) to confirm the suspected link. The public health officials report it is too early to conclude the fruit mix is the source of infection.
However, several people who became ill reported eating the fruit mix. Product samples have been sent for analysis but results will not be available until next week.
