Overview
- The CDC has confirmed a Salmonella outbreak linked to backyard poultry, with seven cases reported between February 9 and March 24, 2025, across six states including Utah, South Dakota, and Florida.
- Genomic testing identified a common source for the infections, with environmental samples matching the outbreak strain; investigations into hatcheries and suppliers are ongoing.
- The CDC cautions that the true number of infections may be higher due to underreporting and delays in identifying cases.
- The FDA issued voluntary recalls for two tomato products from Ray & Mascari Inc. and Williams Farms Repack LLC over potential Salmonella contamination, though no illnesses have been linked to these recalls so far.
- Both agencies continue traceback efforts, public education, and control measures to mitigate risks and prevent further infections.
