Salmonella Outbreak in Source of Article: http://www.marlerblog.com/ Salmonella
Outbreak in Nebraska Source Identified So far, there are approximately 14
lab-confirmed cases, with 4 considered probable ones and an additional 8 to
10 suspect cases indentified on the basis of reported symptoms. The outbreak preliminarily has been linked
to a source—alfalfa sprouts from a local grower, CW Sprouts from Last week and over the weekend, public
health workers have been interviewing individuals involved in the outbreak, as
well as people in a control group that helps interviewers determine the food
source. The interviews led epidemiologists to conclude that sprouts were
reported in a high number of food histories of ill people, thus there was a
strong association with sprouts. CW Sprouts has been very cooperative and
is acting with an abundance of caution to voluntarily recall their sprouts. The FDA and CDC are involved. FDA is doing
an investigation at the company to determine conditions that may have lead to
the contamination as well as determine distribution of the product. |
