A multistate outbreak of Salmonella Thompson originated at a seafood processing facility in Denver where suboptimal sanitization practices and other opportunities for cross-contamination were identified, according to the CDC.
The outbreak, which occurred during May through October 2021, resulted in at least 115 cases in 15 states. Salmonella Thompson is uncommon, and not typically associated with outbreaks in seafood (MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2023;72[19]:513-516).
