Daniele International Salame Salmonella Outbreak Lawsuit
On January 22, 2010 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that at least 189 people in 40 states had fallen ill with Salmonella montevideo infections during a nationwide Salmonella outbreak between July 2009 and January 2010. The following day, Daniele International recalled its pepper salame for potential Salmonella contamination. Daniele Inc. expanded the recall to include 17,235 pounds of Italian sausage products on January 31, and 23,754 pounds of Italian sausage products on February 4. Daniele purchased black pepper from two different distributors, Mincing Overseas Spice and Wholesome Spice, who buy imported black pepper. Samples of pepper from both distributors have tested positive for Salmonella.
By mid March, the CDC reported that 252 individuals infected with a matching strain of Salmonella Montevideo had been reported from 44 states and District of Columbia since July 1, 2009.
The Salmonella lawyers at Seattle-based Marler Clark represent multiple people with claims against the companies involved in the outbreak. The claims are still pending.
