Around 50 people in five European countries have been struck down with a rare strain of Salmonella.
Salmonella Mikawasima has infected 15 people in Germany, 13 in Sweden, eight in both Denmark and the Czech Republic and six in Austria.
The Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES) told Food Safety News that as illness was caused by a very rare serotype, the sudden accumulation indicates transmission through a foodstuff but there is currently no indication on the source of the outbreak.
