Almost 3,000 mt of raw beef products recalled over possible salmonella contamination

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced that it was notified of an investigation of Salmonella Newport illnesses with reported consumption of several different FSIS-regulated products by case-patients.

"The first store receipt potentially linking the purchase of FSIS-regulated product to a case-patient was received on September 19, 2018; FSIS was then able to begin traceback of ground beef products. To date, eight case-patients have provided receipts or shopper card numbers, which have enabled product traceback investigations," FSIS' statement read.

JBS Tolleson's products were packaged on various dates from July 26, 2018, to September 7, 2018. These items were shipped to retail locations and institutions across the USA.

The American authorities have identified the raw ground beef products to be the probable source of the reported illnesses.
The most common supplier of the raw ground beef products was JBS.

After the epidemiological investigation found that 57 case-patients from 16 states became ill in the period ranging from August 5 to September 6, 2018.
