Among 100 persons for whom information is available, illness onset dates range from January 28 to March 25, 2012. Ill persons range in age from 4 to 78 years, with a median age of 31. Forty-seven percent of patients are female. Among 51 persons with available information, 10 (20%) reported being hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.

Illnesses that occurred after March 8, 2012, might not be reported yet due to the time it takes between when a person becomes ill and when the illness is reported.

Initial Announcement

CDC is collaborating with public health officials in many states and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate a multistate outbreak of Salmonella serotype Bareilly infections. Salmonella Bareilly is an unusual serotype of Salmonella. Public health investigators used DNA "fingerprints" of Salmonella bacteria obtained through diagnostic testing with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, or PFGE, to identify cases of illness that may be part of this outbreak. They used data from PulseNet, the national subtyping network made up of state and local public health laboratories and federal food regulatory laboratories that performs molecular surveillance of foodborne infections...

Re: US - Multistate Outbreak of Salmonella Bareilly Infections - Recall Issued

Re: US - Multistate Outbreak of Salmonella Bareilly Infections - Recall Issued

Moon Marine USA Corporation voluntarily recalls frozen raw yellowfin tuna product "Nakaochi Scrape" associated with a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Bareilly infections

Moon Marine USA Corporation (also known as MMI) of Cupertino, Calif. is voluntarily recalling 58,828 lbs of a frozen raw yellowfin tuna product, labeled as Nakaochi Scrape AA or AAA. Nakaochi Scrape is tuna backmeat, which is specifically scraped off from the bones, and looks like a ground product.
The product is not available for sale to individual consumers, but may have been used to make sushi, sashimi, ceviche and similar dishes available in restaurants and grocery stores.
The company name and Nakaochi Scrape AA or AAA were printed on boxes of the product when it was initially sold to distributors. However, the boxes may have been broken into smaller lots for further sale and may not be available to the end retailer or consumer. Therefore, the tuna may not be readily identifiable by retail outlets or by consumers as being from the implicated lots.
The Nakaochi Scrape AA and AAA from MMI was sold through distributors to restaurants and grocery stores that make sushi, and has been linked to an outbreak of Salmonella Bareilly, which has caused 116 illnesses in 20 states and the District of Columbia to date. Of the reported illnesses, there have been 12 hospitalizations, and no deaths.
Many of the people who became ill reported eating raw tuna in sushi as “spicy tuna.”
If you purchase “spicy tuna” or other sushi, sashimi, ceviche, or similar dishes that might contain Nakaochi Scrape from a restaurant or grocery store, check with the establishment to make sure that it does not
contain raw recalled product from Moon Marine USA Corporation, also known as MMI. When in doubt, don’t eat it.
Consumers who think they might have become ill from eating possibly contaminated raw Nakaochi Scrape should consult their health care providers...

Re: US - Multistate Outbreak of Salmonella Bareilly Infections Associated with a Raw Scraped Ground Tuna Product - 200 cases, 28 hospitalizations

April 26, 2012 - A total of 200 individuals infected with the outbreak strains of Salmonella Bareilly or Salmonella Nchanga have been reported from 21 states and the District of Columbia. The 40 new cases are from Connecticut (2), Georgia (5), Illinois (1), Maryland (6), Massachusetts (1), New Jersey (11), New York (8), Pennsylvania (1), Rhode Island (1), Virginia (1), Vermont (1), and Wisconsin (2).

Among 200 persons for whom information is available, illness onset dates range from January 28 to April 12, 2012. Ill persons range in age from 4 to 86 years, with a median age of 30. Fifty-nine percent of patients are female. Among 153 persons with available information, 28 (18%) reported being hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.

Illnesses that occurred after March 27, 2012, might not be reported yet due to the time it takes between when a person becomes ill and when the illness is reported.

FDA laboratories have identified Salmonella in two samples of Nakaochi scrape yellowfin tuna with a PFGE pattern indistinguishable from the Salmonella Bareilly strain associated with this outbreak. One of the samples also yielded another type of Salmonella with a PFGE pattern indistinguishable from the cluster of Salmonella Nchanga infections.

Testing conducted by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection laboratory isolated the outbreak strain of Salmonella Bareilly from one sample of recalled tuna and one sample of a spicy tuna roll made with recalled tuna.

Consumers should not eat the recalled product, and retailers should not serve the recalled raw Nakaochi Scrape tuna product from Moon Marine USA Corporation.

This investigation is ongoing. CDC and state and local public health partners are continuing surveillance to identify new cases.

On May 10, 2012 Moon Fishery (India) Pvt. Ltd., the manufacturer of the frozen yellowfin tuna Nakaochi scrape recently recalled, expanded the voluntary recall to include its 22-pound boxes of “Tuna Strips”, Product of India, marked as “AA” or “AAA Grade” because the product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

FDA sampling yielded Salmonella with a pattern matching the outbreak strain of Salmonella Bareilly that has caused more than 250 illnesses in 24 states and the District of Columbia.

This product was intended for wholesale distribution, and was not sold directly to consumers...

May 17, 2012
A Seafood HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) inspection was conducted by FDA April 19-24 at the nakaochi scrape yellowfin tuna and tuna strips manufacturer, Moon Fishery Pvt Ltd. in Aroor, India. FDA was informed that April 12, 2012 was the last day of tuna processing at the firm due to the seasonal nation-wide ban of tuna harvest from the Indian Ocean.

Based on the initial tour of the facility, inspectors identified several seafood HACCP deficiencies such as lack of controls for histamine at receipt of product, lack of controls for Clostridium botulinum at storage, and several significant sanitation observations of concern.
