OUTBREAK: 62 people sick with Salmonella linked to papayas. Do not eat papayas from Mexico sold in CT, MA, NJ, NY, PA, or RI. Read CDCgov’s outbreak notice:
of healthy Hispanic people in the months of January through June in which 13% reported eating papayas in the week before they were interviewed.
Two people who lived in different households got sick in Connecticut after eating papayas purchased from the same grocery store location in the week before becoming ill. This provides additional evidence that papayas are a likely source of this outbreak. One ill person in Florida had traveled to Connecticut in the week before they got sick. Officials are working to gather more information about an ill person in Texas.
The FDA and regulatory officials in several states are collecting records to determine the source of the papayas that ill people ate. Early product distribution information available at this time indicates that papayas that made people sick were imported from Mexico. This traceback investigation is ongoing.
Consumers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island should not eat whole, fresh papayas imported from Mexico until we learn more about this outbreak. This investigation is ongoing, and CDC will provide updates when more information is available.
