Tailor Cut Produce fruit mix linked to Pennsylvania Salmonella outbreak

FDA and the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) are investigating an outbreak of illnesses caused by Salmonella Javiana in Pennsylvania. Epidemiologic and traceback evidence indicate that fruit mix with cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, and grapes from Tailor Cut Produce of North Brunswick, New Jersey, are a potential source of this outbreak. Tailor Cut Produce reports that their products may be found in restaurants, banquet facilities, hotels, schools, and institutional food service establishments in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The DOH reports that 31 laboratory-confirmed illnesses of Salmonella at four healthcare facilities in southeast Pennsylvania are linked to this outbreak.  The state’s review of invoices shows that a common food eaten by many case-patients was the fruit mix with cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, and grapes from Tailor Cut Produce. On December 6, 2019, the FDA and the Pennsylvania DOH shared the results of the investigation thus far with the firm, and the firm’s leadership stated that they would work with FDA to implement a recall of this product. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-salmonella-potentially-linked-tailor-cut-produce-fruit-mix-winter-2019?utm_campaign=Outbreak_FruitMix_12062019&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua
