####Update March 09, 2023The Public Health Agency of Sweden (Folkhälsomyndigheten) continues the investigation of a Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak linked to fresh eggs from the major Swedish egg producer CA Cedergren. As of March 09, 2023, 79 people from 16 different regions have been confirmed infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Enteritidis. Illnesses started between 6 December 2022 and 4 February 2023.
At the end of December 2022, Salmonella Enteritidis was identified at the CA Cedergren production facility, which led to the recalls of eggs by Coop, Axfood, ICA, Lidl, and Kronägg, beginning in early January and ending in mid-February. As of now, no outbreak cases have been identified that were caused by the new findings of salmonella in the production environment that were found in mid-February. The investigation is ongoing.

A recent outbreak of Salmonella in Sweden has been linked to eggs from CA Cedergrens, according to a statement released by the Swedish government. The outbreak was reported in mid-January and at least 48 people from 13 regions in the country have been infected with salmonella from the farm.
The eggs in question were sold by CA Cedergens in Mönsterås municipality, a Sweden-based egg company, and were distributed to grocery stores and other retailers in Sweden. Salmonella samples from the chickens at Cedergrens have been compared with samples from the infected people, and in this way the authority knows that the salmonella comes from the same place. CA Cedergens after an outbreak was confirmed had to kill 164,000 chickens.
