2026年7月7日，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布速食面条引发多国沙门氏菌疫情报告。
2025年11月至2026年6月期间，欧洲14国暴发沙门氏菌感染疫情，根源疑是某一特定品牌的速食面条。数据显示，共记录106例感染病例，其中49人需要住院治疗，患者中儿童与青年占多数。原文报道如下：
An outbreak of Salmonella Stanley ST2045 is ongoing in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA), with a total of 106 confirmed cases having been reported by 13 EU/EEA countries (77) and the United Kingdom (29) between November 2025 and June 2026. The outbreak is mainly affecting children and young adults, and has involved at least 49 hospitalisations.
Flavoured noodle products from a specific brand are considered the most likely vehicle of infection in this multi-country outbreak, with cases reporting having consumed these products in Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, and Lithuania. The microbiological evidence includes the detection of the outbreak strain in chicken- and hot-chicken noodle products of the same brand in Germany and Lithuania. Traceability investigations linked the products to the same producer in Ukraine as the source. The detection of additional Salmonella serovars may suggest the possibility of multiple contamination sources. Control measures have included withdrawals and recalls in several countries, which significantly reduce the likelihood of new S. Stanley ST2045 infections related to this outbreak. However, a root cause and point(s) of (cross)contamination have not yet been established, and further investigations are needed. Moreover, given that these products have a long shelf life, they may still pose a risk, as they can be stored in household kitchens for extended periods, meaning that further cases could still occur.
Public health authorities are encouraged to interview any new cases, sequence isolates and share information in EpiPulse. Food safety authorities are encouraged to continue investigating to verify the identified products as the vehicles of infection and to identify the source(s) of (cross)contamination, whether associated with single or multiple ingredients.
Consumers are advised to strictly follow the preparation instructions indicated on labels (if products are not ready-to-eat), to ensure proper food hygiene during preparation, and to cook chicken products thoroughly.
