South Africa – Suspected food poisoning outbreak among 120 learners reportedly spreads to third school in Komani

Posted on October 30, 2023 by | Leave a comment

News 24

An alleged food poisoning outbreak which affected 120 learners from two neighboring schools in Komani (formerly Queenstown) yesterday, has reportedly spread to another school this morning. Ambulances are currently rushing to the school. Komani-Karoo Express is currently trying to get confirmation on this morning’s outbreak from the Eastern Cape Health Department.

It was a highly emotional day for over 100 parents from Edlelweni Public Primary and John Noah High School after learners from the schools suffered from an alleged food-borne illness and had to be transported to Frontier Hospital from the Lizo Ngcana Clinic in Komani (formerly Queenstown), by the provincial Emergency Medical Services yesterday, October 26.

Community WhatsApp groups raised the alarm at around 11:40 about children who had gone to the clinic in numbers.

The Eastern Cape Department of Health confirmed the number of treated learners, aged between 8 and 15, to be 120. The cause of the alleged food poisoning could not be confirmed yesterday.

Posted on October 30, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

Officials in South Africa have issued a warning after several cases of children falling seriously ill after eating different types of snacks.

Authorities appealed for calm following reports claiming children had died after consuming items bought from spaza shops. These sites are also called tuck shops and are informal grocery stores.

The Gauteng Health Department confirmed the deaths of at least five children due to suspected foodborne sources.

In one incident, four boys aged 2, 3, 4, and 6 allegedly ate sweets and chips from a vendor in Westonaria. The youngest two died. In another case, two 6-year-olds died after consuming biscuits and juice from a local shop. Police have taken samples for processing to find the source.

EU – Multi-country outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis in chicken meat and chicken meat products

Posted on October 30, 2023 by | Leave a comment

EFSA

Between January and October 2023, 14 EU/EEA countries, the UK and the US reported 335 cases related to this outbreak.

Chicken meat and chicken meat products (kebab) are the likely source of a multi-country outbreak caused by three types of Salmonella Enteritidis, according to EFSA and ECDC’s latest Rapid Outbreak Assessment.

Bacteria similar to those causing the outbreak have been detected in samples of chicken meat and chicken kebab. While food traceability data points to producers located in Poland (7 producers) and Austria (1 producer), no microbiological evidence of a contamination at their facilities has been found.

Scientists expect that new cases are likely to occur in this multi-country outbreak as the source has not yet been identified. EFSA and ECDC experts recommend further investigations to identify the potential locations within the chicken meat production chain where the contamination may have occurred.
