CDC Identifies Possible Source of Salmonella Outbreak Tied to Italian Meats
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently identified a possible source of a Salmonella outbreak that has been linked to Italian meats. According to the CDC, the outbreak has affected at least 36 people across 17 states, with 12 individuals requiring hospitalization. The agency has been working alongside state and local health officials to investigate the source of the outbreak, and their findings indicate a potential link to Italian-style meats such as salami and prosciutto.

The CDC has advised consumers to avoid consuming any of the suspect Italian meats, and to thoroughly clean any surfaces or utensils that have come into contact with these products. Additionally, the agency has recommended that individuals at higher risk for severe illness from Salmonella, such as the elderly, young children, and those with weakened immune systems, should refrain from consuming any of these products altogether. The CDC continues to investigate the outbreak and is working closely with regulatory agencies and the food industry to prevent any further illnesses.
