Salami salmonella outbreak: 2 more hospitalized, dozen new illnesses reported

Health officials in Canada are reporting a growing outbreak of salmonella linked to salami, with two more people hospitalized and over a dozen new cases confirmed. Since April, at least 84 people have fallen ill, and nine have been hospitalized—a worrying spike that suggests the contaminated product may still be circulating.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another recall notice—it’s a sign that whatever’s causing this outbreak hasn’t been fully contained. Salmonella can hit vulnerable groups hard, and with hospitalizations rising, it’s worth checking your fridge for recalled products or staying updated if you’ve recently bought salami. Foodborne outbreaks like this often trace back to supply chain issues, so there could be broader questions about inspection processes down the line.
