MOSCOW, (Sputnik) - Almost 120 cases of salmonella have been confirmed in ten European countries after an outbreak at a chocolate factory in Belgium, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said on Tuesday.
"As of 8 April 2022, 150 cases (119 confirmed and 31 probable) have been reported in nine EU/EEA countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and Sweden) and the UK. The first case had a sampling date 21 December 2021 in the UK," a statement said.
ECDC and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published the assessment of the outbreak
