A nationwide outbreak of Salmonella enterica serotypes Newport and Reading occurred between 17 October and 28 November 2008 in Finland. A total of 77 culture-confirmed Salmonella Newport and 30 Salmonella Reading cases, including one case with a double infection, were reported. All strains isolated from the patients were subtyped using serotyping, microbial resistance profiling, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Here, the PFGE patterns of the studied Salmonella Newport strains were identical, whereas four different PFGE profiles were found among the Salmonella Reading strains. Two elderly patients died within 2 weeks of the onset of symptoms. Three geographical clusters of cases with an epidemiological link were identified. The traceback investigation suggested that the factor connecting the cases was ready-chopped iceberg lettuce available for mass catering use. However, none of the tested food, environmental samples, or the samples taken from the staff of the processing plant contained Salmonella bacteria. Tracing back to outbreak sources with a short shelf life can be complex.

Assessment of Physicochemical and Microbiological Characteristics of Honey in Southwest Ethiopia: Detection of Adulteration through Analytical Simulation
Gemechu G. Abdi, Yetenayet B. Tola, Chala G. Kuyu
Summary: This study evaluated the quality of honey in the supply chain in southwest Ethiopia and found significant differences in physicochemical and microbial quality among different actors. The study also developed a predictive model to detect adulteration, which showed good linearity and predictive capacity.

Inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes by Hydrogen Peroxide Addition in Commercial Cheese Brines
Kathleen A. Glass, Jie Yin Lim, Quinn L. Singer
Summary: Commercial cheese brines can be a reservoir for salt-tolerant pathogens. This study found that the addition of hydrogen peroxide can effectively reduce the population of L. monocytogenes in cheese brines, especially at higher temperatures and salt concentrations. The presence of indigenous microorganisms may neutralize the effect of hydrogen peroxide.
