Poorly stored meat in Gerena, Seville, Spain linked to Salmonella Outbreak

Outbreak

Gerena, 41860 Andalusia, Spain

The Andalucian Ministry of Health is investigating a Salmonella outbreak in Gerena (Seville) linked to poorly stored meat purchased from a food product sales establishment. On February 20, 2022, the Gerena Health Center informed 6 people fell ill with fever, vomiting, and diarrhea after consuming the contaminated meat, none required hospitalization.

Health authorities have carried out epidemiological surveys to diagnose those affected. They have also inspected the establishment and sampled food remains. Both the biological samples of the diagnosed cases and the food samples have obtained positive results for salmonella. The investigation is ongoing.

The contaminated meat was likely poorly stored and is a reminder to always follow food safety guidelines. The Andalucian Ministry of Health urges the public to be aware of the risks when consuming food products and to ensure they are properly stored.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.

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.

sensation in my throat that caused a panic. I immediately took activated charcoal but it took 15 minutes to kick in. This was alarming, never felt that sensation before. I knew it was serious, but luckily I keep charcoal on hand. I believe this was not caused by a pathogen but rather tainted by a chemical. Like to have it analyzed, as I still have the carton.  | Symptoms: Stomach Pain
