All Jule’s Foods recalled for Salmonella contamination and an outbreak, according to an FDA recall notice. The notice states that the FDA and CDC are investigating this outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has not yet released any information about this outbreak, but there is a new Salmonella Duisburg outbreak that was posted on the FDA’s Core Investigation Table on April 22, 2021 with five people sick. We still don’t know the patient age range, illness onset dates, or whether anyone has been hospitalized.
The FDA has preliminary confirmation of Salmonella in Jule’s Foods brie products that contain cashews. The company is working with the FDA to find the source of the pathogen in samples that were collected by the California Department of Public Health. Thus this recall.
