The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued its final update on the salmonella outbreak linked to salami products and red and black pepper.
It said that 272 people have been sickened so far due to the outbreak in 44 states and the District of Columbia, but as the affected products have a long shelf life, more illnesses could still occur.
Among the unique features of the investigation, the CDC said that it had successfully used frequent shopper card information to determine the specific brands of products suspected to cause illness.
