There is another outbreak of salmonella. It started in September.
An outbreak of salmonella food poisoning has made 388 people sick across 42 states, sending 18 percent of them to the hospital, U.S. health officials said on Wednesday.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is trying to trace the source of the outbreak, which began in September. The Department of Agriculture, state health officials and the Food and Drug Administration are also involved.
The CDC said poultry, cheese and eggs are the most common source of this particular strain, known as Salmonella typhimurium.
This time, however, they don't know where it's coming from.

Honestly, many of the raw foods containing Salmonella sp. and it's wise to cook the foods with hot water, before we're consuming it!
