Posted August 23, 2023

This outbreak is over. Any ground beef can have germs, like Salmonella. Always cook ground beef to an internal temperature of 160°F.

This map shows where the 18 people in this Salmonella outbreak lived.

This outbreak may not have been limited to the states with known illnesses, and the true number of sick people was likely much higher than the number reported. This is because many people recover without medical care and are not tested for Salmonella.
