Public health officials are investigating a multi-state outbreak of Salmonella Newport infections. The investigation traced the outbreak to raw ground beef products supplied by JBS Tolleson.
Epidemiological evidence identified 120 confirmed cases of Salmonella from 22 states. Onset of illness dates range from August 5, 2018 to September 28, 2018.
On October 4, 2018, JBS Tolleson recalled approximately 6,500,966 pounds of raw ground beef due to Salmonella contamination. The recalled ground beef was packaged between July 26, 2018 to September 7, 2018.
Recalled ground beef products have the establishment number “EST.267” and were shipped to retail locations and institutions nationwide. States affected include: AZ, CA, CO, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MN, MT, NM, NV, OH, OK, OR, SD, UT, WA, WY. You can check the list of recalled products and retail stores affected on the USDA’s website.
Salmonella Newport is a foodborne bacteria that causes an infection called salmonellosis. Salmonellosis causes about 1.2 million illnesses and 450 deaths in the U.S. each year. Children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are the most at risk for severe infections.
The most common symptoms of a Salmonella infection are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever. Sometimes the diarrhea can become so severe that people need to be hospitalized. In these cases, the Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream and can be fatal.
Symptoms of Salmonella start within 12-72 hours of exposure. A Salmonella infection typically lasts about 4-7 days.
A Salmonella infection is diagnosed by a stool test performed by your doctor. If you or someone you love got sick after eating recalled ground beef, see your doctor immediately.
If you or a loved one got sick with Salmonella poisoning, you may be able to sue for damages. Contact a Salmonella lawyer about filing a lawsuit today.
