The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating a small outbreak of Salmonella poisoning that it hopes to keep small.

The agency says that one person has died so far, and at least eight others have been hospitalized after eating tainted ground beef. The affected consumers live in California, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Iowa. The death occurred in California.

The CDC said it has not yet been able to trace the outbreak to a single ground beef supplier, but it strongly suspects that is the case. It’s urging consumers to be cautious when preparing ground beef. While the Salmonella pathogen is highly toxic, it can be killed when exposed to high temperatures. Thoroughly cooking ground beef normally neutralizes the threat.

“CDC is not advising that consumers stop eating thoroughly cooked ground beef, or that retailers stop selling ground beef,” the health agency said.

In interviews with the CDC, the people who have gotten sick report eating different types and brands of ground beef purchased from a number of different locations. Lab tests have identified the outbreak strain of Salmonella Dublin in repackaged leftover ground beef collected from an ill person’s home in California.

Salmonella symptoms

Symptoms of Salmonella poisoning can vary in severity depending on the strain. Most patients report diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps 12 to 72 hours after being exposed to the bacteria. The illness normally lasts up to a week, and people often recover without seeking medical treatment.

Symptoms may be more severe in young children and people older than 65 because their immune systems may not be as strong as a healthy adult’s. The infection is dangerous because it can spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and then make its way to the body’s other organs.

Medical professionals say that consumers should always keep raw meat separate from foods that won’t be cooked, such as salad ingredients. Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds after touching raw meat and before touching other things in your kitchen.

It’s also important to thoroughly wash kitchen countertops, cutting boards, plates, and utensils with hot, soapy water or a bleach solution after they come in contact with raw meat or its juices to avoid contaminating other foods and kitchen items.

Fresh on the heels of a salmonella outbreak linked to raw turkey and an E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce, public health officials have announced that a multistate salmonella outbreak linked to recalled tahini products has sickened at least five people.

The illnesses were reported as early as June and as recently as October 18. Consumers who became ill told the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that they had recently consumed hummus or other foods containing tahini.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it has identified salmonella in imported tahini produced by Achdut Ltd, which it said was “highly related” to the strain identified in those who fell ill.

“[The] CDC identified five ill people in the U.S. infected with Salmonella Concord that had the same genetic fingerprint as the Salmonella Concord found in tahini sampled at the point of import into the United States,” the FDA said.

“Of the five U.S. cases interviewed, all five reported consuming hummus made with tahini; three people reported eating tahini or hummus made with tahini in a restaurant in the U.S., while the other two people reported consuming tahini or hummus made with tahini during international travel.”

Six tahini brands

The FDA is advising consumers not to eat recalled tahini products packaged under the brand names Achva, Achdut, Soom, S&F, Pepperwood, and Baron’s. The products have expiration dates ranging from April 7, 2020 to May 21, 2020 and lot codes ranging from 18-097 to 18-141, the FDA said.

The FDA cautioned that some Achdut tahini products might not be clearly labeled with specific dates or may have labels that are written in Hebrew.

“Consumers who have purchased a tahini product and are uncertain of where the product was manufactured or cannot identify the brand by lot codes or expiration dates should use caution and discard the product or return the food to the store for a refund,” the agency said.

Salmonella cases tied to the outbreak have been reported in Michigan, New York, and Hawaii. The FDA said Achdut, an Israeli-based manufacturer, has removed the source of the contamination.

Illness caused by Salmonella typically occurs between 12-72 hours after consuming the contaminated product. Most people experience fever, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. The illness usually lasts for a week, but severe cases can persist for longer.

Earlier this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that an antibiotic-resistant salmonella outbreak began spreading from chicken and has since infected 92 people across 29 states.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently investigating the outbreak and reported 21 hospitalizations so far, though no deaths have been reported.

The CDC interviewed 54 infected people to get a sense of what they ate in the week before getting sick. Based on the responses, there was no one single thing that led to this outbreak, though nearly 90 percent of the people interviewed reported eating or preparing chicken that they purchased raw. The chicken came from several different brands and was purchased at several locations, and one person was infected after a pet ate raw ground chicken pet food.

Antibiotic resistance

Though the FDA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) have yet to pinpoint exactly how the outbreak started, the agencies have also discovered that the infection doesn’t respond to several different antibiotics.

Based on whole genome sequence (WGS) testing of 43 infected people and 68 food samples, the infection didn’t respond to the following antibiotics:

• Ampicillin

• Ceftriaxone

• Chloramphenicol

• Ciprofloxacin

• Fosfomycin

• Gentamicin

• Hygromycin

• Kanamycin

• Nalidixic acid

• Streptomycin

• Sulfamethoxazole

• Tetracycline

• Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole

This is important for doctors to be aware of, as many traditional antibiotics may not work in treating the infection, and an alternate plan of attack may be necessary.

The CDC and the USDA-FSIS have contacted suppliers in the chicken industry to inform them of the outbreak and will continue to monitor it and update consumers as more information becomes available. The CDC also warns consumers to take extra precautions when preparing raw chicken and has provided several food safety tips to help avoid contracting salmonella.

Fighting antibiotic resistance

While antibiotic resistance can be troublesome for physicians trying to help patients fight off infections, much research has been done recently to help make strides in this area.

Many times doctors prescribe the wrong medications because they’re unsure of which treatment option will be effective, but a study conducted by researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden found a new method that will allow doctors to ensure their patients receive the right antibiotics before leaving the office -- and faster and more efficiently than before.

Moreover, scientists discovered a new drug -- found in a soil sample from Italy -- that works in killing several strong infections that were thought to be resistant to antibiotics. Stefano Donadio, lead researcher on the study, emphasized the importance of utilizing natural products in antibiotics research, as the drug -- pseudouridimycin -- was found to be highly effective in the testing stages.

Early last month, Gravel Ridge Farms recalled cage-free large eggs due to a potential Salmonella contamination.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)reported on the outbreak on September 10, and at that time, there had been just 14 illnesses contained to Alabama and Tennessee. In the last few weeks, a total of 38 people have been confirmed with Salmonella diagnoses, and the outbreak has spread to five more states. No deaths have been reported, but 10 people have been hospitalized so far.

The recalled eggs were sold between June 25, 2018 and September 6, 2018, and were found in grocery stores and restaurants in Alabama, Tennessee, Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, Ohio, and Montana.

Consumers should steer clear of Gravel Ridge Farms eggs that come in either one-dozen or 2.5-dozen cardboard boxes, and that have the UPC code 7-06970-38444-6.

Consumers who purchased affected eggs can return them from their place of purchase for a full refund, or they should throw them out immediately. The FDA also suggests consumers get rid of any Gravel Ridge Farm Eggs immediately -- regardless of the date stamped on the box or the UPC code.

The CDC notes that Salmonella typically occurs 12-72 hours after consuming the contaminated product, and most people experience fever, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. The virus usually lasts for a week, but severe cases can linger past that.

The CDC’s investigation is ongoing, and the agency will continue to report when more information becomes available. For the CDC’s complete report of the outbreak, click here.

Maya Distribution, LLC -- based in South Salt Lake City, Utah -- has issued a voluntary recall of its Dragon Kratom labeled bottles and sealed packages of encapsulated and raw powder product. The company says these kratom products may have been contaminated with salmonella.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever. However, symptoms such as arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract infections can develop in more serious cases; the condition can even be fatal to young children, the elderly, or those with weakened immune systems. 

The company says the following products are subject to recall:

What to do

Maya initiated the recall after being notified by the FDA of a positive test for salmonella. It says that it has since located the source of the contaminated product and ceased its production and distribution.

The affected products were sold to retailers in Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming, Kansas, Illinois, Idaho, Iowa, and Michigan. The FDA says that one illness related to the recall has been reported thus far, and it urges consumers not to consume affected products.

Consumers can return affected products to Maya Distribution or to the place of purchase for a full refund. 

For more information, you can contact Maya Distribution via email at mayavapes@yahoo.com or via phone at (801) 410-4309 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. MST.
