美国疾病控制与预防中心追踪到一起与墨西哥辣椒相关的沙门氏菌疫情，至少345人在27个州报告患病[1]。其中36人因此住院治疗，但未有死亡报告[1]。受影响最严重的是明尼苏达州和科罗拉多州[1]。
根据调查，被感染患者与食用来源于墨西哥锡那罗亚州种植者的辣椒密切相关[1]。在191名接受调查的患者中，177人（占93%）在2024年6月14日至7月14日期间在墨西哥风格餐厅就餐[1]。这些辣椒由Coast Citrus Distributors公司运入美国[1]。针对此次疫情，Chipotle Mexican Grill和Qdoba等连锁餐厅已主动下架相关辣椒产品[1]。受疫情影响，Chipotle Mexican Grill股价在周二下跌近10%[1]。
沙门氏菌感染症状通常持续4至7天[1]。根据数据，美国每年约有135万例沙门氏菌感染[1]。
U.S. health authorities have linked a multistate salmonella outbreak to jalapeños sourced from a grower in Sinaloa, Mexico, and imported by Coast Citrus Distributors [1]. At least 345 people across 27 states have fallen ill, with 36 requiring hospitalization and no deaths reported [1]. Minnesota and Colorado have been the most severely affected states [1].
An investigation of 191 patients revealed that 177 individuals, representing 93 percent, dined at Mexican-style restaurants between June 14 and July 14, 2024 [1]. In response to the outbreak, major restaurant chains including Chipotle Mexican Grill and Qdoba have voluntarily removed the implicated jalapeño products from their locations [1]. Chipotle's stock price declined by nearly 10 percent on Tuesday [1]. Salmonella infections typically cause illness lasting four to seven days [1].
