Salmonella outbreak associated with IHOP in Bellevue

5 days ago source kingcounty.gov business

Outbreak

14747 Northeast 20th Street, Bellevue, 98007 Washington, United States

A salmonella outbreak has been linked to the IHOP restaurant located at 14747 NE 20th St, Bellevue, WA. As of now, 32 cases have been reported, with six hospitalizations and no deaths. The investigation into the outbreak is ongoing.

The Public Health Department's investigation suggests that the specific strain of Salmonella was introduced into the IHOP through Salmonella-contaminated diced onions. Despite the contaminated onions being recalled and discarded in October 2023, the same strain of Salmonella was identified in the restaurant through environmental testing on April 2, 2024. This suggests that the bacteria, known to live on surfaces like plastic and steel for a long time, is still present in the restaurant, despite multiple closures, deep cleanings, and discarding of potentially contaminated food and equipment.

This outbreak may not be over since it often takes at least 3-4 weeks before Public Health can connect someone’s sickness, like salmonellosis, to a specific outbreak.

In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, 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.
