SpainThe United States has removed 1.5 million egg cartons from the market due to a salmonella outbreak linked to a producer in Texas, which has resulted in 96 cases of infection and 26 hospitalizations across 17 states. Salmonellosis outbreaks are more common in summer because high temperatures promote bacterial growth and make it harder to maintain proper food safety practices. The disease is caused by the salmonella bacterium and is typically transmitted through contaminated food or poor hygiene during food preparation. Contaminated foods often look, smell, and taste normal, making them difficult to identify without laboratory testing. High-risk foods include raw or undercooked eggs, poultry meat, unpasteurized dairy products, and raw fruits and vegetables exposed to contaminated water or surfaces. Symptoms usually appear between 12 and 72 hours after exposure and include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Most people recover within a week, but severe dehydration or complications requiring antibiotic treatment can occur in serious cases.
