A Salmonella outbreak is linked to Metabolic Meals home delivery service, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). There are 16 people sick in 10 states.
The case count by state is: Arkansas (1), California (3), Connecticut (1), Georgia (2), Illinois (1), Minnesota (2), Missouri (3), Texas (1), Washington (1), and Wisconsin (1). The patient age range is from 0 to 96 years. Illness onset dates range from July 24, 2025 to August 15, 2025. Of the 15 people who gave information to public health investigators, seven people have been hospitalized, for a hospitalization rate of 47%, which is more than double the average 20% hospitalization rate for a Salmonella outbreak.
Patients were interviewed about what they ate the week before they got sick. Of the 12 people interviewed, 10, or 83%, said they ate a Metabolic Meals prepared menu item. Whole genome sequencing showed that bacteria from sick people’s samples were closely related genetically, suggesting that patients got sick from eating the same food.
