The ECDC report of September 5, 2025, claims that between January 1, 2023, and August 30, 2025, 289 confirmed cases of Salmonella Strathcona ST2559 have been reported in 19 EU/EEA countries and three countries outside the EU/EEA (the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada). Isolates genetically closely related to the outbreak strain have been detected since 2011, indicating a recurring public health concern. Epidemiological, microbiological, and traceability data in 2023-2024 identified small tomatoes from the Sicily region of Italy as the vehicle of infection. In 2025, several countries have reported more than 30 additional cases, mainly between June and August, with Italy reporting the highest number. @ https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/Communicable%20disease%20threats%20report%2C%2030%20August-5%20September%202025%2C%20week%2036_0.pdf
