A Salmonella outbreak that sickened over 160 people in California and a handful of individuals in other states was caused by raw milk products from a single dairy farm, a new report explains.
The outbreak — described Thursday (July 24) in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), which is published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — took place between September 2023 and March 2024. The California Department of Public Health was first notified of the outbreak when nine people fell ill after consuming a specific brand of raw milk produced by the same dairy. This prompted an investigation by state and federal officials.
