An outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis in bagged peaches

The FDA, along with CDC and state and local partners, is investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis infections linked to bagged peaches sold at ALDI stores in multiple states. The peaches are in Wawona-brand 2-pound, clear plastic bags sold in ALDI stores from June 1, 2020, until the present. As of August 19, 2020, CDC is reporting a total of 68 cases across 9 states (IA, MD, MI, MN, NJ, NY, PA, VA, WI), with 14 hospitalizations. ALDI reported to FDA that potentially affected bagged peaches were shipped to CT, IA, IL, KY, MA, MI, MN, ND, NH, NY, OH, RI, SD, VT, WI, and WV. ALDI has voluntarily recalled all of Wawona-brand bagged peaches from select ALDI stores. The Minnesota Department of Health reported that many of the people sick with the same strain of Salmonella Enteritidis, confirmed by Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), had purchased Wawona-brand bagged peaches from ALDI before becoming ill. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-salmonella-enteritidis-bagged-peaches-august-2020?utm_campaign=Outbreak_Peaches_08192020&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua
