The United Kingdom recorded the most infections in a multi-country Salmonella outbreak that was likely caused by contaminated tomatoes from Morocco.
Between July and October 2024, 216 patients with genetically related Salmonella Blockley infections were identified including 56 in France, 30 in Germany, and 129 in the UK. In the UK, 79 people were sick in England, 33 in Scotland, and 17 in Wales. One person in the United States fell ill but they had been to the UK before symptom onset.
