Date of submission: 06 May 2011 <HR>In March 2011, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health identified a possible outbreak involving 21 cases of Yersinia enterocolitica O:9 infection with similar MLVA-profiles. Preliminary results of epidemiological and microbiological investigations indicate bagged salad mix containing radicchio rosso (also known as Italian chicory) as a possible source. As a result of the investigation, bagged salad mixes of a specific brand were voluntarily withdrawn from the market by the producer.
