STOCKHOLM, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) -- An outbreak of Salmonella Mbandaka ST413 that has been evolving in seven European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) countries, the United Kingdom (UK) and Israel has probable links to the consumption of chicken meat, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said on Wednesday.
"Based on case interviews from Finland and the UK, ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken products and/or fresh chicken meat (such as those used in sandwiches and wraps) are the likely vehicles of infection," the ECDC said in a press release.
