Salmonella Outbreak
Severity
26 people sick & 9 hospitalized across 15 states as part of a wider multistate outbreak to date. PennRose Farms repacked some of these linked cucumbers in 5-pound mesh bags. 4 lot codes are affected. Products were shipped to Restaurant Depot distribution centers in 5 states.
Who's At Risk?
Salmonella mainly impacts young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Most healthy adults and children rarely become seriously ill after exposure to Salmonella.
Symptoms
Symptoms may include fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (which may be bloody), and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the organism can get into the bloodstream and producing more severe illness such as arterial infections (i.e. infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
