The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Thompson infections linked to seafood.

To date, 102 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella Thompson have been reported from 14 states.  The majority of sick people are either Colorado residents (82) or reported traveling to Colorado in the week before they got sick. Only two people did not report travel to Colorado in the week before they got sick.

19 people required hospitalization for their illness.

Epidemiologic, laboratory, and traceback data show that this outbreak is linked to seafood distributed by Northeast Seafood Products of Denver, Colorado.

The seafood was distributed to restaurants and grocery stores in Colorado through October 7, 2021. It was sold at seafood counters in Albertsons, Safeway, and Sprouts grocery stores in Colorado.

Seafood types include Haddock, Monkfish, Bone-in Trout, Grouper, Red Snapper, Red Rock Cod, Ocean Perch, Pacific Cod, Halibut, Coho Salmon, Atlantic Salmon Portions, Lane Snapper, Tilapia, All Natural Salmon Fillet, Pacific Sole, and Farm Raised Striped Bass. Products were distributed fresh but may have been frozen later by consumers and businesses.
