The CDC currently counts 245 ill in 44 states and DC in the outbreak tied to Daniele products, and the numbers continue to rise. 1,372,235 pounds of ready-to-eat meat products have been recalled by Daniele International in three separate lots. The CDC has confirmed two different strains of Salmonella in the current outbreak: *Salmonella* Montevideo and *Salmonella* Senftenberg. It is possible that these serotypes will be connected to different kinds of pepper (black and red), but the investigation is on-going. Marler Clark has filed two [*Salmonella* lawsuits](http://www.salmonellalitigation.com/salmonella_caseupdates/view/daniele_international_salame_salmonella_outbreak_lawsuit/ "Salmonella lawsuits") on behalf of consumers sickened in the outbreak. On February 25, Wholesome Spice recalled all 25 lb lots of crushed [red pepper](http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm202113.htm "red pepper") produced between 4/6/09 and 1/20/10, and on March 1, Heartland Foods recalled [black pepper](http://www.marlerblog.com/case-news/the-rolling-recall-has-begun---heartland-foods-inc-voluntarily-recalls-coarse-ground-black-pepper-be/ "black pepper") produced between 10/19/09 and 2/17/10 - both because of potential *Salmonella* contamination. ## Union International Food Company Outbreak Outbreaks in spices are not a new occurrence. In April 2009 an outbreak of *Salmonella* rissen was traced to white pepper produced by [Union International Food Company](http://www.marlerblog.com/2009/04/articles/case-news/spice-recall-increased-because-of-salmonella-contamination/ "Union International Food Company"), and sold under the brand names Lian How and Uncle Chen spices. At least 79 people were sickened with the rare strain of Salmonella during the [Union International outbreak](http://www.marlerclark.com/case_news/view/union-international-foods-spices-sauces-oils-salmonella-4-states "Union International outbreak"), many in Western states. One person was infected while in the hospital for a lobectomy (lung surgery), and died from complications of her *Salmonella* infection. Marler Clark has filed a [Salmonella lawsuit](http://www.marlerclark.com/press_releases/view/salmonella-death-in-california-leads-to-lawsuit-filed-by-marler-clark "Salmonella lawsuit") on behalf of her family. ### Salmonella outbreaks and recalls August 23, 2023 ###### [Listeria outbreak: Three die after drinking contaminated milkshakes](https://marlerclark.com/news_events/listeria-outbreak-three-die-after-drinking-contaminated-milkshakes) Three people have died, and three others are in hospital after drinking milkshakes contaminated with listeria bacteria in the US state of Washington, health officials … July 12, 2023 ###### [2011 Listeria outbreaks linked to cantaloupes: A history](https://marlerclark.com/news_events/2011-listeria-outbreak-linked-to-cantaloupes-a-history) A total of 148 persons infected with any of the five outbreak-associated strains of Listeria monocytogenes were reported to the CDC from 28 states.
