New outbreak of Salmonella infections detected; other investigations continue

Investigators are investigating a new outbreak of Salmonella Liverpool infections. The source of the pathogen has not yet been determined.

The Food and Drug Administration reports that three people have been confirmed infected. The agency does not report where the people live or their ages. The investigation is in the early stages, so traceback and testing have not yet begun. The patients are infected with the same strain of Salmonella, suggesting that there is a common source.

In other outbreak news, the FDA has initiated sample collection to investigate E. coli O157:H7 infections linked to a product that has not yet been identified. So far, 27 patients have been identified. The FDA has not reported the patients’ ages or where they live, nor has it reported what food or foods are being tested. 

Also, the FDA continues investigating an outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis infections traced to eggs. As of Oct. 9, 65 confirmed patients were present, 24 of whom required hospitalization. The patients are spread across nine states.

All types — conventional cage-free, organic, and non-GMO — chicken eggs and sizes of chicken eggs supplied by Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC in Bonduel, WI, have been recalled. The recall covers all expiration dates for the following eggs:

All carton sizes and all egg types are labeled with “Milo’s Poultry Farms.”

All carton sizes of “Tony’s Fresh Market” branded eggs

The FDA is conducting an on-site inspection and has collected samples at Milo’s Poultry Farms. Salmonella Enteritidis was detected in samples collected from the farm’s packing facility and poultry house. Whole-genome sequencing analysis determined that the Salmonella in the samples matches the strain of Salmonella causing illnesses in this outbreak.
