Salmonella Outbreak
Severity
345 people sick and 36 hospitalized across 27 states to date. Previous recall expanded to include 50+ additional store-made products containing Pico de Gallo made with outbreak-linked jalapeños. Affected products were sold at United, Amigos, Market Street, and Albertsons Market in 2 states. Do not eat, sell, or serve affected products. Investigation is ongoing.
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. Illness usually occurs within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. In rare cases, the organism can get into the bloodstream resulting in severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.
