2 months ago •source www.media.pa.gov

Outbreak

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has issued a warning to consumers about a food outbreak linked to Conoco View Dairy's raw milk products. The outbreak, caused by Campylobacter contamination, has reportedly made 11 people sick across Cumberland, Juniata, Perry, Snyder, and York Counties.

The outbreak was traced … See More
back to raw milk products sold by Conoco View Dairy. The products were sold in plastic pints, quarts, and gallons, as well as glass quarts. They were available at the dairy's retail outlet at 410 Clarks Run Road in Blain, Perry County, and other retail locations in Cumberland, Juniata, Perry, Snyder, and York Counties. The dairy also delivered products directly to homes in Dauphin, Perry, and Juniata County and at drop-off points in Harrisburg, Carlisle, Enola, and Mechanicsburg.

The issue came to light after the Department of Agriculture conducted tests following 11 reports of campylobacteriosis illnesses in December and January. The tests confirmed the presence of Campylobacter in the dairy products. While the source of the bacteria is clear, the specific production dates could not be pinpointed, leading to the recommendation that all products, including those in consumers' freezers, should be discarded.

In case you experience Campylobacter symptoms such as diarrhea (often bloody), fever, nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps, report it now. 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.

Concerns have escalated as over 60 households from Barton House, displaced for over two months, are currently residing in the hotel.

The outbreak was first recognized following a series of complaints regarding the living conditions at the hotel. The complaints, specifically about the standard of food and communication from the council, led to an investigation that ultimately unveiled the norovirus outbreak.

Residents have been advised to quarantine in their rooms for a minimum of two days post-sickness to help prevent further contagion. The hotel, in response to the outbreak, has initiated measures such as in-room meal deliveries, replacement bedding, and intensive cleaning operations.

In case you experience Norovirus symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and nausea, report it now. 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
