Mung bean sprouts was caused by a single strain of Salmonella Newport
An outbreak that sickened 126 people in Germany and the Netherlands traced to mung bean sprouts was caused by a single strain of Salmonella Newport.
Researchers said to their knowledge, mung bean sprouts had not been described as the infection vehicle in a Salmonella enterica serovar Newport outbreak to date.
It was the largest S. Newport outbreak ever reported in Germany.
The epidemic curve showed a peak from 21 October to 5 November 2011, which suggested an infection vehicle in circulation for a limited time due to a short shelf-life.
Findings demonstrate that consumption of raw or briefly cooked sprouts is associated with a considerable risk of foodborne illness, according to Rosner et al. (http://www.eurosurveillance.org/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleId=20665)
