Canadian Salmonella outbreak linked to pistachios continues to grow; another product recalled

There is another recall in Canada related to a Salmonella outbreak that has sickened 117 people. Almost 50 products containing pistachios have been recalled so far.

The new recall is for non-branded Dubai-style chocolate sold at Juice Dudez locations from May 28 through Sept. 4. The chocolate was sold in various sizes and was clerk served.

As of Nov. 5, the Public Health Agency of Canada was reporting that the outbreak includes patients in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. Patients range in age from 2 to 95 years old. Seventeen of the patients have required hospitalization. People became sick between early March and late September.

“Many people who became sick reported eating pistachios, and products containing pistachios, such as Dubai-style chocolate and pastry products. The outbreak strains of Salmonella that made people sick were found in samples of recalled pistachios and samples of the recalled Dubai-style chocolate. The investigation is ongoing and it is possible that additional sources may be identified,” according to an outbreak updated from the health agency.

The public health agency first posted information about the outbreak on Aug. 5 when there were 52 confirmed patients. The agency says there are likely many more people who have been infected because some people do not seek medical attention and others are not specifically tested for Salmonella. For every confirmed illness in a Salmonella outbreak the agency estimates there are 26 patients who go undetected.
