<i>Notes from the Field:</i> Multistate Outbreak of <i>Salmonella enterica</i> I 4:I:- Infections Linked to Charcuterie-Style Meats — United States, 2023–2024

On December 19, 2023, CDC's PulseNet, the national molecular subtyping network for foodborne disease surveillance, identified a cluster of 13 Salmonella enterica I 4:I:infections in five states that were found to be highly related by whole genome sequencing, indicating a possible outbreak.*CDC, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS), and state and local partners conducted an investigation to identify the outbreak source.Patients' self-reports of foods consumed before illness onset identified similar reports of charcuterie products, and clinical isolates were genetically related to a 2021 outbreak linked to salami sticks.
