- Abstract
In mid-January 2011, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture's (MDA) retail food sampling program detected Salmonella Hadar in a turkey product produced by a corporation with nationwide distribution. Enhanced surveillance led the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (WDHS) to notify the United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of three clinical cases of Salmonella Hadar infection from January. The case-patient isolates were indistinguishable by Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) from the MDA sample. All samples had resistance to five antimicrobials on the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH) clinical test panel. The WSLH determined that Salmonella isolated from intact turkey product from a case-patient's home was indistinguishable from the outbreak strain by PFGE and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. The Food Safety Inspection Service tworked with additional states with illnesses in the cluster to determine exposures. This report describes the investigation that resulted in the first FSIS raw poultry recall due to contamination with multidrug resistant Salmonella in the United States.
