“…Powdered infant formula also has been associated with outbreaks of illness due to Citrobacter and multiple Salmonella serotypes (13,(34)(35)(36)(37)(38). The degree to which E. sakazakii is a marker for a range of neonatal infections possibly related to powdered infant formula remains to be defined.…”

“…During the outbreak we learned of a similar incident of salmonellosis, mediated by powdered milk, in the United States in 1966. 18 Here also, many other milk drying plants were found to harbour salmonella; nor was our 1977 outbreak the last to involve powdered infant formula. The English outbreak of Salmonella Ealing in 1985 also involved small children 19 and similar difficulties in isolating salmonellas from formula were encountered.…”

“…Just then, the Eastland typhoid epidemic (see below) broke and the HDV had to delay investigating the Salmonella Bredeney cases. Nevertheless, a conference in Melbour ne (17)(18)(19)(20) May) allowed JT to discuss the data with Suzanne Dixon, scientist in charge of the SRL, who soon conf irmed widespread cases.…”

In 1977 two major outbreaks of salmonella infection originated in Victoria. The first of these, involving Salmonella Bredeney, continued over some seven months and was traced to contamination of powdered milk‐based infant formulae during manufacture. This caused cases of gastroenteritis among young children throughout Australia. Another incident led to the discovery that salmonella serovars were colonising not one, but a number of dairy factories through the State. The second outbreak was of typhoid, stemming from a carrier working in a sandwich bar, and occurred during the course of the first, almost overwhelming public health resources and delaying investigation of the first outbreak. The background, recognition, course, investigation and resolution of these, previously unpublished, outbreaks are described, drawing upon the experiences of authors involved at the clinical, public health and laboratory levels, and preserved, contemporary records. Taken together, these outbreaks directly stimulated radical improvements in the construction and management of dairy factories in the State; initiated the adoption of risk management concepts in food factories; caused the launch of regional regulations compelling notification of salmonellas found in food manufacture; and led to the setting‐up of an enhanced national, laboratory‐based system for the collection, analysis and dissemination of information on enteric pathogens.

“…Powdered-milk-related outbreaks affecting large numbers of people have been described in Europe and the USA [9,10]. In May 1993, three cases of infection with lactose-fermenting Salmonella tennessee in Canada and United States have been linked to consumption of contaminated powdered infant formula [1].…”

Interregional foodborne salmonellosis outbreak due to powdered infant formula contaminated with lactose-fermenting Salmonella virchow

Spain's Salmonella surveillance system backed by regionally-based epidemiologists around the country made it possible to detect and halt the spread of a foodborne salmonellosis outbreak due to powdered infant formula contaminated with a lactose-fermenting strain of Salmonella virchow. Forty-eight cases involving children, mostly under 7 months old, were detected in 14 out of Spain's 17 Regions. The outbreak started in January and ended in June 1994. All cases were microbiologically confirmed. The implicated strain had a 3.6 kb plasmid, was susceptible to all antimicrobials tested except nitrofurantoin and was phagetype 4a. Isolates from 8 of 24 Brand "A" milk samples tested had the same characteristics as case isolates. All affected/suspect batches of Brand "A" milk were destroyed and the product withdrawn from sale, which led to the end of the outbreak. This incident underscores the importance of maintaining surveillance systems able to detect and prevent foodborne outbreaks and alert to the possibility of isolating unusual lactose-fermenting Salmonella serotypes in especially sensitive food products.
