Outbreak
Belgrade, 59714 Montana, United States
The Gallatin City-County Health Department (GCCHD) is currently investigating a potential foodborne illness outbreak linked to the Belgrade Fall Festival that took place on September 16. While the specific pathogen responsible for the outbreak remains uncertain at this stage, the GCCHD is actively investigating the incident.At this stage of the investigation, GCCHD's Health Officer has recommended that anyone with leftover beef brisket from the Belgrade Fall Festival should discard it. This precautionary measure is taken due to suspicions that beef brisket may be the source of the outbreak. Further testing and analysis are underway to confirm this.
The GCCHD invites anyone who attended the Belgrade Fall Festival and ate at the event to inform the health department to contribute to the investigation. It is important to note that this appears to be an isolated occurrence, and the event organizers have been collaborating closely with health department officials in their efforts to determine the root cause and prevent further spread.
In case you experience vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
