Salmonella Braenderup Infection in the E.U and U.K.

06/23/2021

Previously EGG-NEWS reported on outbreaks of Salmonella Braenderup attributed to melons shipped from Central America to the EU.  The U.K. Food Standards Agency has since reported 99 cases since April associated with cantaloupe and honeydew melons from Honduras and Costa Rica as the vehicles of infection.  The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control has initiated an investigation following reports from 13 EU nations involving 356 cases with noteworthy infections in Germany, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden.

 

It is noted that Salmonella Braenderup was implicated in a limited outbreak of extended duration questionably attributed to eggs derived from a cage-layer complex in the Mid-Atlantic region in 2017.
