CrackleMi Cafe in Seattle, WA linked to Salmonella Outbreak
2 months ago
709 North 35th Street, Seattle, 98103 Washington, United States
The Seattle & King County Public Health is investigating an outbreak of salmonellosis linked to CrackleMi Café located at North 35th Street in Seattle. The PH department advised that all people they interviewed reported eating a different type of banh mi sandwich (e.g., pork, chicken, and egg banh mi). To date, three people reported becoming sick with one or more symptoms consistent with salmonellosis, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, bloody stool, and fever. All three cases had lab testing confirmation of a Salmonella infection. Illness onset dates ranged since August 21, 2023.
The Health Dept investigators visited the restaurant on September 19 and 20, 2023, and observed factors that may have contributed to the outbreak such as risk of cross-contamination, improper handwashing, and improper glove use. The restaurant voluntarily closed on September 20, 2023, to clean and disinfect. Public Health Investigators will verify cleaning and disinfection prior to reopening. Public Health research has not identified any ill employees.
In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms, it is important to report it. 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.
