CDC Food Safety Alert: Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Frozen, Raw Tuna

On April 15, 2019, the CDC issued a food safety alert about a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Newport infections linked to frozen, raw ground tuna supplied by Jensen Tuna. A total of 13 people infected, with the outbreak strain of Salmonella, have been reported from seven states (CT, IA, IL, MN, ND, NY, and WA). Two people have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported. The recalled tuna was probably not sold directly to consumers in grocery stores but was likely used in food dishes sold by restaurants or retailers. @ https://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/newport-04-19/index.html
