The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it is investigating two salmonella outbreaks in 17 states that are linked to Italian meats like "salami, prosciutto, and other meats that can often be found in antipasto or charcuterie assortments."
There is an active investigation underway, but no recalls have been announced.
As of Tuesday, 36 people had fallen ill and 12 were hospitalized, the CDC said. The numbers could be higher, though, because many who have salmonella symptoms don't seek medical care. It also takes three to four weeks to figure out whether a sick person is part of the outbreak.
Epidemiologists are working to determine whether the two outbreaks are from the same source. In speaking to those who fell ill and were able to provide information, several varieties of meats such as salami, prosciutto, coppa and soppressata were reported.
The CDC is recommending that those at high risk for getting salmonella "heat Italian-style meats to an internal temperature of 165°F or until steaming hot before eating."
Salmonella won’t make you puke... it tends to hit you at the other end, if you know what I mean. I speak from experience, having survived it when I was a kid.
Sal Monella sounds like an MSNBC correspondent.
yes, must not be Aldi’s, thanks
They have meat in Italy?
I can’t open it... maybe someone could list the states...
Is Florida on the list?
From CDC: Fratelli Beretta brand prepackaged Uncured Antipasto trays with “best by” dates on or before February 11, 2022.
And in this time 6,600 Americans have been killed in car crashes.
Perspective people. This country freaks out about bad things that happen to a tiny percentage of the population.
Thanx. Don’t use that brand.
the war on meat continues
Get the jab!
Do any Italians actually produce Italian meats anymore???
No Florida—mostly western and midwestern states—
CA hardest hit....
I learn something new here every day—thanks, I guess...
;-)
Thanks - had an Italian sub for lunch....
Pronounced gobba gool.
Italian Americans, yes. We don’t import Italian pork products because of a few diseases that we can’t control with imports.
Should we eat them with none, one or two masks on? 🤓 Before I buy Italian meats, I need to know about from the expert, Dr. Fauxi!!
