During an FDA inspection, samples collected tested positive for Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes and resulted in a recall due to humans and pets’ potential health risks. The expanded recall is due to potential cross-contamination. No human or animal illnesses related to the identified products have been reported to date. Bravo products are sold through distributors to retail stores and consumers directly nationwide. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/bravo-packing-inc-expands-previously-announced-voluntary-recall-pet-food-products-due-potential#:~:text=During%20an%20FDA%20inspection%2C%20samples,due%20to%20potential%20cross%20contamination.

The State Journal Register reported that Illinois health officials reported that 92 cases of norovirus had been linked to the Arby’s restaurant on Dirksen Parkway in Springfield, Illinois. As a result, the fast-food restaurant has voluntarily closed.

Food Safety News reported that Norwegian officials had identified meat from Germany as Salmonella’s source that caused 22 people to become sick. 19 are confirmed to have been infected with the outbreak strain they identified. For three people, confirmation is pending, but preliminary analyzes indicate they belong to the outbreak. Ten people have been hospitalized. Salmonella Enteritidis with the same genetic profile as the outbreak strain has been detected in a beef batch imported from Germany. This batch has been withdrawn from the market. It has been used in the production of ground meat at the same plant as burgers. The infected people came from all over Norway. A Salmonella-positive sample came from importer Prima Jæren. Folkehelseinstituttet has analyzed samples from infected people and found the bacteria are identical and originate from the same source. NorgesGruppen has recalled ground meat and burgers supplied by Norfersk and have Folkets, Meny, Spar, or Kiwi on the label. A preliminary analysis indicates no link between this outbreak and Salmonella Enteritidis that has affected 25 people across 14 regions in southern and central Sweden from the end of last year.@ https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2021/03/imported-meat-linked-to-salmonella-outbreak-in-norway/?utm_source=Food+Safety+News&utm_campaign=7124bfd4f9-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f46cc10150-7124bfd4f9-40253059
