An outbreak of Salmonella Reading caused by raw turkey products has sickened 90 people in 26 states and hospitalization was already required in 44.4 percent of those cases, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta announced Thursday.

With the CDC announcement, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said it is  continuing to work with its federal partners to monitor a Salmonella Reading outbreak that may be associated with raw turkey products. 

The agency said it has not identified a single source for this outbreak “at this time.”

FSIS reminded consumers to wash their hands thoroughly after handling any raw meat and poultry products, cook these products to the safe recommended temperature, and use a food thermometer.

Faith Based Events

Forty people have been hospitalized in the outbreak, which to date has not included any deaths.
