The Food and Drug Administration is actively working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the state of Rhode Island and other states to investigate the Salmonella Montevideo foodborne illness outbreak.

The CDC reports that more than 250 people have been infected with a matching strain of Salmonella Montevideo in at least 44 states and the District of Columbia. Analysis of an epidemiologic study comparing foods eaten by inpiduals who were sickened identified salami/salame as a possible source of illness: http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/montevideo/index.html¹².

Daniele International Inc. recalled a variety of ready-to-eat Italian-style meats after Salmonella was associated with its products. A complete listing of the recalled products, which are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, can be found at: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/News_&_Events/Recall_006_2010_Products/index.asp³⁴.

The FDA has been investigating the supply chain of black and red pepper supplied to Daniele International Inc. Based on recent test results, Mincing Overseas Spice Company, Dayton, N.J.; and Wholesome Spice Company, Brooklyn, N.Y. are recalling products. Both supplied pepper to Daniele International Inc. and to other companies, who are also recalling products, including seasoning mixes.
