October 20, 2022
CDC, public health and regulatory officials in several states, and the FDA are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Litchfield infections linked to fresh fish sold to restaurants by Mariscos Bahia, Inc.
The contaminated food is salmon, tuna, Chilean sea bass, swordfish, and halibut distributed from Mariscos Bahia's locations in Pico Rivera, California, and Phoenix, Arizona. The fish was distributed to restaurants in California and Arizona fresh, not frozen, and was not sold directly to consumers in grocery stores or markets.
As of October 19, 2022, a total of 33 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Litchfield have been reported from 3 states (CA, CO, and IL), 13 people have been hospitalized and no deaths have been reported. Illnesses started on dates ranging from June 14, 2022, to September 18, 2022. The investigation is ongoing.
According to CDC, the true number of sick people in this outbreak is likely much higher than the number reported, and the outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses. This is because many people recover without medical care and are not tested for Salmonella.
CDC is advising restaurants not to sell or serve fresh fish sold by Mariscos Bahia, Inc. Restaurants should check with their suppliers and not sell or serve salmon, tuna, Chilean sea bass, swordfish, or halibut received on or after June 14, 2022, fresh (not frozen) from Mariscos Bahia, Inc.
