FDA to Continue Investigation into Salmonella Outbreak

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it will continue to investigate the national outbreak of Salmonella poisoning due to the recalled peppered-salami products of Daniele Internationale.

The federal agency said it will continue the process with the Center for Disease Control (CDC), which has reported 230 cases of people falling ill across the country.

The victims have been infected with the same strain of Salmonella Montevideo associated with a type of Italian-style sausage product, including salami.

Daniele Internationale, which found that its spices were the contaminated factor in the meats, recalled a variety of their products due to potential contamination.

FDA officials are investigating the spice companies, mainly the supply chain of black pepper.
