Salmonella outbreak in UK linked to imported eggs; cases expected to rise

Experts warn that Salmonella cases in the UK will likely keep increasing until the common source of the outbreak is found—a process that is notoriously difficult. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has confirmed 474 infections and one death linked to the current outbreak. Recent investigations suggest the illness is associated with eating imported eggs served in cafes and restaurants. Health officials say identifying the exact origin is challenging, but they are working to trace the supply chain. Until that happens, they expect more cases to emerge.
