Salmonella Associated With Raw Ground Tuna

 

The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) reports four cases of Salmonella Newport infection in North Dakota associated with frozen, raw ground tuna.

The NDDoH has been working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and other state and local health officials in this national investigation. Evidence collected by environmental health officials and information gathered during interviews with ill individuals indicates that frozen, raw ground tuna supplied by Jensen Tuna Inc. is the likely source of this outbreak.

On April 15, 2019, Jensen Tuna Inc. voluntarily recalled frozen ground tuna imported from JK Fish of Vietnam.
