13 People Ill From Salmonella as Spanish Eggs Are Pulled in ‘Serious’ EU Alert
Authorities withdrew the batch after lab tests identified Salmonella Enteritidis and the EU classified the outbreak as serious.
- On Thursday October 8, Spanish officials reported that at least 13 people fell ill with salmonella after eating domestically produced eggs, with the contaminated batch also distributed in Portugal before withdrawal.
- Laboratory results dated Wednesday September 23 identified Salmonella Enteritidis as the cause; laying hens can carry the bacteria through feed or water and contaminate eggs during laying.
- Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition has not released the brand or sale locations, and the outbreak does not appear on the agency's public food alerts page.
- The European Union's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed classified the incident as serious, following separate outbreaks in Eibar involving 29 people and Belgium affecting 200.
- Castilla health services advise against washing eggs to prevent moisture-driven contamination and recommend keeping sauces in the fridge for no more than 24 hours, as Salmonellosis symptoms appear within 72 hours.
