Public Health Response to Multistate Salmonella Typhimurium Outbreak Associated with Prepackaged Chicken Salad, United States, 2018

Bradford Greening Jr et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2022 Jun.

Abstract

Quantifying the effect of public health actions on population health is essential when justifying sustained public health investment. Using modeling, we conservatively estimated that rapid response to a multistate foodborne outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium in the United States in 2018 potentially averted 94 reported cases and $633,181 in medical costs and productivity losses.

Keywords: Salmonella; Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium; United States; bacteria; enteric infections; food safety; foodborne illness; health impact assessment; public health economics; quantitative evaluation.
