State health officials are working with state, local and federal public health partners to investigate the source of six Salmonella infections.

The six cases include residents of King (1), Snohomish (1), Thurston (1), Yakima (2) and Pierce (1) counties. All were infected with the same strain of Salmonella bacteria. The last confirmed case reported illness on Sept. 15.

Five of the six people reported buying and eating English cucumbers from various Costco stores in Washington. The cucumbers linked to the illnesses were sold in three-packs of individually wrapped cucumbers.

If you bought English cucumbers from Costco between Aug. 18 and Sept. 10 and still have them in your refrigerator, the Department of Health recommends throwing them away.

JBS Tolleson, Inc., a Tolleson, Ariz. establishment, is recalling approximately 6,937,195 pounds of various raw, non-intact beef products that may be contaminated with Salmonella Newport, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The raw, non-intact beef items, including ground beef, were packaged on various dates from July 26, 2018 to Sept. 7, 2018. The following products are subject to recall: [Products List (PDF) (or XLSX) | Product Labels (PDF only) | Distribution List (PDF)]

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 267” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations and institutions nationwide.

On September 5, 2018, FSIS was notified of an investigation of Salmonella Newport illnesses with reported consumption of several different FSIS-regulated products by case-patients. The first store receipt potentially linking the purchase of FSIS-regulated product to a case-patient was received on September 19, 2018; FSIS was then able to begin traceback of ground beef products. To date, eight case-patients have provided receipts or shopper card numbers, which have enabled product traceback investigations.  FSIS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and state public health and agriculture partners have now determined that raw ground beef was the probable source of the reported illnesses. Traceback has identified JBS as the common supplier of the ground beef products. The epidemiological investigation has identified 57 case-patients from 16 states with illness onset dates ranging from August 5 to September 6, 2018. FSIS will continue to work with public health partners and will provide updated information should it become available.

Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. The most common symptoms of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating the contaminated product. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without treatment. In some persons, however, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. Older adults, infants, and persons with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop a severe illness. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact their health care provider.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.

“Antibiotic-resistant Salmonella has been a growing concern in the US over the last decade,” said Bill Marler, managing partner at Marler Clark, in Seattle.  “USDA/FSIS must consider calling it what it is – an adulterant – and banning products that are in fact contaminated with it,” added Marler.

2018-09-11 Gallegos Complaint Final

La Luz Mexican Grill reopened yesterday morning after a salmonella outbreak at the Old Town Fort Collins restaurant sickened 30 people. The restaurant, 200 Walnut St., voluntarily closed on Aug. 21 when the illness was confirmed.

Larimer County Health Department spokesperson Katie O’Donnell said there were 30 confirmed salmonella illnesses linked to the case. Investigators still haven’t been able to determine the exact source of the outbreak.

The entire Old Town La Luz staff completed a required ServSafe Food Handler program at The Cooking Studio. Employees who tested positive for salmonella have been allowed to return to work only after testing negative twice.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – An amended lawsuit was filed today against Pasha Mediterranean Grill, LLC on behalf of six additional individuals sickened in the Salmonella outbreak. All seven individuals ate at the Pasha Mediterranean Grill located on Wurzbach Road in San Antonio. The seven plaintiffs are represented by Marler Clark, the nation’s leading food safety law firm, and Hill Law Firm, a respected San Antonio firm.

The plaintiffs, ranging from 19 to 46 years of age, consumed food at Pasha Mediterranean Grill on August 31, 2018. Three days later, they all began experiencing symptoms including severe diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, and fever. Each individual sought medical attention for Salmonella, with treatment ranging from ER visits, antibiotics to hospitalization. To date, they are all still experiencing symptoms.

On September 6, 2018, the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District announced an investigation into a potential foodborne illness cluster of as many as 300 people at Pasha’s Mediterranean Grill. To date, there are 14 confirmed Salmonellacases with 12 hospitalizations. The investigation is still ongoing.

“We have been contacted by former clients, colleagues, personal friends, and a wide array of people affected by this terrible outbreak. Some of our clients spent days in the hospital due to their illness. Since our firm has been involved in outbreak cases for the past decade and we are located in San Antonio, we are perfectly positioned to best help these victims,” stated Justin Hill, lead attorney of the first Pasha case filed and owner of Hill Law Firm.

Peggy O’Hare reports that as of 4 p.m. Friday, Metro Health had received more than 300 phone calls. Most of them — 255 — came from people who said they became ill after eating at Pasha Mediterranean Grill on Wurzbach Road between Aug. 30 and Wednesday.

So far, 14 victims have shown laboratory evidence of being sickened by salmonella, Metropolitan Health District spokeswoman Carol Schliesinger said. A dozen people have been hospitalized.

Metro Health officials said they are still in the early phases of their investigation and haven’t yet determined a specific cause or food source for the illness. “We may never know,” Schliesinger said.

Pasha co-owner Kamran Hajivandi said Friday that the health department told him it suspects that hummus might be the culprit. But he said he doesn’t know how chickpeas could have sickened so many.

Metro Health officials first learned Sunday night of people becoming sick. The officials went to the restaurant at 9339 Wurzbach to conduct an inspection Monday. They found several violations, including a lack of sanitizing buckets at preparation tables and a reach-in cooler not maintaining a proper temperature of 41 degrees, Schliesinger said.

Salmonella typically causes diarrhea and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after exposure, said Metro Health Assistant Director Anita Kurian, who works in the agency’s communicable disease division. A healthy adult sickened by the illness usually experiences those symptoms for four to seven days. Most people recover completely without medical treatment; but if the diarrhea is very severe, some patients may need to be hospitalized, Kurian said.
