A Salmonella Saintpaul outbreak has been reported, affecting 44 individuals across the United States. The source of the outbreak remains unidentified, and investigations are ongoing. The outbreak, referenced as #1353, was announced on December 3, 2025, and is currently active, with health officials working to determine the product responsible.
The outbreak has prompted an investigation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is actively tracing the source of the contamination. The FDA has not yet initiated a recall, as the specific product linked to the illnesses has not been identified. The agency is conducting inspections and sampling to pinpoint the origin of the Salmonella Saintpaul pathogen.
The problem was discovered through routine surveillance of foodborne illnesses, which identified a cluster of Salmonella Saintpaul cases. Health officials are collaborating with state and local partners to gather more information and advise the public on any necessary precautions. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
