salmonella outbreak

The CDC says there have been at least 47 illnesses across 22 states tied to the outbreak, which officials believe is linked to charcuterie meat trays sold at the two wholesale stores.

At least 117 people in 34 states have gotten sick from salmonella infections. U.S. health officials believe two brands of cantaloupe — and dozens of fruit cups and medleys — may have been the cause.

Half of the people infected in the outbreak reported having contact with turtle with shells smaller than four inches wide. Owning pet turtles of that size is prohibited by federal law.

The Kinder products are being recalled across Europe and Canada. It was not immediately clear whether the recall involved products sold in the United States.

A salmonella outbreak has affected more than 30 states. Federal health officials link it to onions grown in Chihuahua, Mexico, and distributed by ProSource Inc.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating two salmonella outbreaks that are tied to Italian-style meats like the ones often found on charcuterie boards.

More than 12 million pounds of meat are now included in the recall. Officials say some 250 people have been sickened. They fear contaminated beef may remain in people's freezers.

Over 45 tons of meat could potentially harbor the food-borne illness, the USDA said. More recalls from other companies could follow, as the government tracks a widespread outbreak of the same strain.

The Kellogg's Company is playing it safe by encouraging consumers and retailers to get rid of potentially contaminated boxes of cereal.

Consumers should avoid Maradol papayas from Mexico, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The outbreak has spread to 16 states, and one death has been reported.
