    CDC, public health and regulatory officials in several states, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Dublin infections linked to ground beef.

    A single, common supplier of ground beef has not been identified. This investigation is ongoing and CDC will update the public as more information becomes available...

    10 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Dublin have been reported from six states.
    Illnesses in this outbreak are more severe than expected for Salmonella. A total of 8 ill people were hospitalized, including one death reported from California.
    Epidemiologic and laboratory evidence indicate that ground beef is a likely source of this outbreak. A single, common supplier of ground beef has not been identified.
    In interviews, ill people report eating different types and brands of ground beef purchased from many different locations.
    Laboratory testing identified the outbreak strain of Salmonella Dublin in repackaged leftover ground beef collected from an ill person’s home in California.
    This outbreak investigation is ongoing and CDC will update the public if more information becomes available.
