Salmonella Outbreak Cases Double as Authorities Identify Second Charcuterie Brand Link

 

Federal health officials have issued additional warnings about an ongoing Salmonella outbreak, now linking a second brand to the infections. Initially tied to a Busseto Foods charcuterie sampler sold at Sam's Club, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that cases have nearly doubled, reaching 47 individuals across eight more states.

 

In the ongoing investigation, interviews with affected individuals uncovered that four people had purchased Fratelli Beretta brand Antipasto Gran Beretta from Costco before experiencing illness. Both products were sold in twin packs, and any lot code is considered potentially contaminated. Although these items have been removed from store shelves, health authorities are concerned that consumers might still have them in their refrigerators, emphasizing the importance of disposal.

 

Among the 47 patients associated with the outbreak, 10 have been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported. The illness onset dates range from November 20, 2023, to January 1.

 

Minnesota's agriculture department previously identified the outbreak strain in an unopened package of Busseto brand charcuterie sampler. Whole-genome sequencing conducted by the CDC predicts resistance to ampicillin, kanamycin, streptomycin, and sulfisoxazole. While many Salmonella infections resolve without antibiotics, the CDC warns that some cases may be challenging to treat using commonly prescribed antibiotics.
