Recall of Salmonella Duisburg in Jule’s Cashew Brie

The FDA announced the investigation of a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Duisburg infections linked to the consumption of Jule's Cashew Brie, a vegan or plant-based cheese alternative. The firm, Jule's Foods of Carlsbad, California, conducts a voluntary recall of all varieties of Jule's Foods products. CDC identified an outbreak of five Salmonella Duisburg illnesses, which is considered a rare Salmonella serotype. All samples taken from ill patients are highly related, according to WGS analysis. Of the five people interviewed, three (60%) reported eating Jule's Truffle Cashew Brie– the only common product identified. Preliminary results indicated that the Jule's Cashew Brie products might have been contaminated with Salmonella. The products were sold on the firm's website and in select retail locations. As a precaution Jule's Spinach Artichoke Dip and Jule's Vegan Ranch Dressing are being recalled. These products were sold directly to customers via the internet. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-salmonella-duisburg-jules-cashew-brie-april-2021?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
