Food handlers linked to outbreaks of Salmonella -- New food safety infosheet
Posted: May 28th, 2008 - 9:10am by Ben Chapman
A couple of what appears to be staff-related Salmonella outbreaks have occurred in the past month in Princeton, New Jersey and Norwalk, Ohio. Reports of both outbreaks suggest that poor hygiene amongst staff led to over 100 total cases. No food source has been identified in the Ohio outbreak, but it is suggested that shredded cheese was prepared by a food handler who was shedding Salmonella.
These outbreaks are also the stories we have concentrated on in today's iFSN food safety infosheet. Click here to download the infosheet.
