連結：美國爆沙門氏菌疫情 疑生鮪魚惹禍（2015/05/22）
美國食品藥品監督管理局（FDA）表示，壽司用的生鮪魚可能是疫情源頭。目前九個州共有53人疑似因生食鮪魚感染沙門氏菌，加州疫情最嚴重，共有31病例，有10人留院治療，無人死亡。
加州公共衛生部門指出，除了加州，其他受影響的州還有亞利桑納、伊利諾、密西西比、新墨西哥、南達科他、維吉尼亞、華盛頓和威斯康辛州。
FDA表示，目前國家和地方衛生部門正在尋找源頭，但大部分病患宣稱自己吃含生鮪魚的壽司。國家衛生署署長史密斯博士（Karen Smith）發表聲明，提醒民眾不要食用生的或未煮熟的肉類、魚類，特別是老、幼年人免疫系統較弱，容易感染，症狀會持續長達一周，包含發熱，腹瀉和腹部絞痛。

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local officials are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Paratyphi B variant L(+) tartrate(+) infections. The FDA is moving quickly to investigate this issue and learn as much as possible to prevent additional people from becoming ill. We recognize that people will be concerned about these illnesses, and we will continue to provide updates and advice.
Update: July 23, 2015
On July 21, 2015, the Osamu Corporation of Gardena, California announced two voluntary recalls of yellowfin tuna from one processing plant in Indonesia. The two recalls include:
- One lot of frozen yellowfin tuna chunk meat sold to AFC Corporation for use in sushi franchises in grocery stores throughout the U.S., which had been distributed by Osamu Corporation from May 20, 2015, to May 26, 2015. The affected lot can be identified by lot number 68568.
- An expanded recall to include all frozen tuna (loin, saku, chunk, slice, and ground market forms) distributed by the supplier associated with the three previously recalled lots. This expanded recall includes tuna sold to restaurants and grocery stores throughout the U.S. from May 9, 2014, to July 9, 2015. These products were originally shipped from Osamu to distributors in bulk, after which the distributors sent the product to restaurants and grocery stores. Affected lots can be identified by four-digit purchase order numbers 8563 through 8599 located on each product carton box.
