Update December 10th, 2025:
The FDA has officially closed this investigation. The CDC’s analysis showed that those who became ill had eaten spring mix beforehand. Teams from the CDC, FDA, and state and local agencies carried out interviews, traced supply chains, and tested both food products and environmental samples. All samples taken during the investigation tested negative for Salmonella.

After gathering enough evidence, investigators determined that spring mix was the likely source of the illnesses. By that time, the product had already exceeded its shelf life and was no longer available on the market. The outbreak has ended, and there is currently no risk to public health.
