- The outbreak began in April and has grown as a result of contaminated deli products available both at supermarkets and in ready-to-eat sandwiches across several provinces.
- Since April, 84 people have fallen ill, mostly in Alberta, with 67 cases there, plus 15 in Ontario, one in Manitoba, and one related illness in B.C. linked to travel.
- There have been nine hospitalizations with two additional cases reported since late June, as federal agencies continue recommending consumers check product codes like 5035 226.
- The outbreak highlights ongoing risks a salmonella infection poses, especially severe for vulnerable groups, and authorities expect more illnesses may still be reported.
