People who got sick reported eating salami, prosciutto and other tasty meats found in an appetizer or charcuterie range before getting sick.
“Researchers are working to identify specific contaminated products and determine whether outbreaks of the two diseases are related to the same food source,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised, “Until we identify what Italian-style meats are making people sick, heat all Italian-style meats to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit or even steam it before eating.” if you are at higher risk.”
You are at greater risk for acute salmonellosis if you are 65 years of age or older, have a chronic health condition or reduced immunity, or are taking medications that lower your immunity and your body’s ability to fight germs.
“Children under the age of 5 are more likely to develop serious illness from salmonella,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Multi-State Outbreak
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the infection rate in both outbreaks is likely to be much higher, as it can take weeks for illness reports to be alerted, accounted for and investigated. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said many people may have mild illnesses that have not been reported.

The CDC said a strain of salmonella called typhimurium infected a group of 23 people from 14 states between late May and July 27. Laboratory tests showed that 20 of these cases were resistant to common antibiotics such as chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline.
Nine people were hospitalized, but no deaths were reported.
The states involved in typhimurium outbreaks are: Arizona, California, Nevada, Washington, Utah, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, and Indiana.

Another 13 people were infected with a strain called Salmonella infantis between early May and late June, which usually infects children under the age of two. Three of them have been hospitalized.
No deaths have been reported and lab tests have found no antibiotic resistance.
States implicated in Infants tribe outbreaks include Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Texas, Minnesota, and New York.
Symptoms of Salmonella
Salmonella symptoms usually start within 12 to 72 hours of eating contaminated food. These can include diarrhea, abdominal cramps and a fever that lasts between four and seven days, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Most people recover on their own, but those with persistent diarrhea may need to be hospitalized. In rare cases, the infection can get into the bloodstream and cause serious illness.
