4 people have contracted Salmonella in the Outpost Natural Foods Salmonella Outbreak in Milwaukee. A Salmonella lawyer says that Salmonella lawsuits are likely.
After Outpost Natural Foods’ main kitchen tested positive for Salmonella, Wisconsin suspended the company’s meat establishment license and Milwaukee suspended its retail food processing. Wisconsin public health officials said that the suspensions came after unsanitary conditions were discovered and ready-to-eat products tested positive for Salmonella.
Outpost Natural Foods has recalled these food items prepared at its main kitchen:
So far 4 people have been infected with the outbreak strains of Salmonella found at Outpost Natural Foods. Of the three people who were available for interviews, all three ate food from Outpost Natural Food. According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, “Insanitary conditions were discovered during a routine inspection and ready-to-eat products tested positive for Salmonella.”
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal, “Outpost Natural Foods’ main kitchen in Bay View remains closed as it searches for the source of Salmonella contamination that has sickened multiple people.”

Some people may also have nausea, vomiting, or a headache. Symptoms usually start within 6 hours–4 days after infection and last 4–7 days.
Salmonella infections are diagnosed when a laboratory test detects Salmonella bacteria in a person’s stool (poop).
Most people recover without specific treatment. Antibiotics are typically used only to treat people with severe illness. Patients should drink extra fluids as long as diarrhea lasts. In some cases, diarrhea may be so severe that the person needs to be hospitalized.
In rare cases, the infection may spread from the intestines to the bloodstream, and then to other parts of the body. In these people, Salmonella can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics.
CDC estimates Salmonella causes about 1.2 million illnesses, 23,000 hospitalizations, and 450 deaths in the United States every year. Food is the source for about 1 million of these illnesses.
Diagnosing salmonellosis requires testing a clinical specimen (such as stool or blood) from an infected person to distinguish it from other illnesses that can cause diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Once Salmonella is identified in the specimen, additional testing can be done to further characterize the Salmonella.
