Salmonella cases in UK likely to rise until source of outbreak is found

Salmonella cases in the UK are expected to increase until the source of the current outbreak is identified, according to health experts. There have been 474 confirmed cases and one death linked to the outbreak, with investigations pointing toward imported eggs used in cafes, restaurants, and other catering services. Imported eggs are often cheaper than UK-produced 'lion mark' eggs, leading to their widespread use in institutions like schools and nursing homes. Experts note that identifying the exact origin of the contamination is challenging, especially within the complex global food supply chain. While past outbreaks have been linked to egg imports from Europe, the current source remains unknown, raising concerns among public health officials.
