Possible Salmonella Outbreak in Denmark Sickens 4,000

 

A possible salmonella outbreak may have infected more than 4,000 people in Denmark, and health officials are scrambling to find the source of what may become the worst outbreak there in 15 years.

 

According to the Danish Ministry of Health, 330 cases have been confirmed as Salmonella typhimurium U292, a fairly rare type of the disease. Officials believe the outbreak may be caused by a food product distributed only in Denmark but have not been able to attribute it to a single source.

 

A few cases of salmonella were reported as early as February, but over the last six weeks, the number of cases has risen alarmingly. About 30 new cases a day are being reported, and officials expect that pace to continue until they can uncover the source.

 

The United States is also facing a serious salmonella outbreak that has affected more than 800 people. Authorities continue to search for the source of contamination, thought to be tomatoes.
