FDA and Investigating Multistate
Lettuce Salmonella Outbreak
Shredded lettuce has been associated with 124 cases of Salmonella. In Oregon, seven people became sick, including three in the Portland area.
Two people were hospitalized; one with severe symptoms.
The Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak started in July of 2009 and peaked in August of 2009.
The FDA and state departments of agriculture have stated that shredded lettuce seems to be a fairly common
denominator for affected people.
"FDA launched its involvement around the 1st of September 2009," said
Sebastian Cianci, spokesman for the FDA.
There were no lettuce recalls associated with this outbreak because any contaminated product would
have been consumed by now.
Epidemiological evidence is being used as primary evidence:
- Interviews with those sickened
- Invoices and shipping and receiving records from restaurants, distributors and shippers
According to the FDA, the outlet for the unconfirmed source of contamination seems to be fast food restaurants. "People reported eating at one or more fast food restaurants, often multiple restaurants," Cianci said. "But it doesn't seem to be one restaurant chain or one type of food served. And it does not seem to be associated with food sold at grocery stores."
The outbreak did not cause any fatalities, although 2 people were hospitalized, according to media reports.
