EFSA and ECDC assess Salmonella outbreak

Outbreaks and sporadic cases of Salmonella Enteritidis in Austria, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, as well as one case reported in Luxembourg, appear to be linked by the time of symptom onset and microbiological characteristics of isolates. The cases in Austria, France and Germany share an epidemiological link to the same egg packaging centre in southern Germany.
