On November 25, 2008, an epidemiologic assessment began of a growing cluster of Salmonella serotype Typhimurium isolates that shared
the same pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern. As of January 28, 2009, 529 persons from 43 states and one person from Canada had been reported infected with the outbreak strain. This report is an interim summary of results from ongoing epidemiologic studies and recall and control activities by CDC, the Food and Drug Administration, and state and local public health agencies. Reported onset of illness dates have ranged from September 1, 2008 to January 16, 2009. A total of 116 patients have been hospitalized, and the infection might have contributed to eight deaths. Consumers are advised to discard products that have been recalled.
