On Friday, June 6, 2025, the CDC and FDA reported a total of 79 illnesses due to the salmonella outbreak strain. Illnesses began on dates ranging from February 24, 2025, to May 17, 2025, with 21 individuals reported to have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.

Those infected with salmonella may show symptoms, including diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, within 12 to 72 hours after eating the contaminated food. Children younger than five, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe infections. The symptoms usually last four to seven days. Contact your healthcare provider if you think you may have a salmonella infection.
