据外电报道，美国卫生部门27日称，科罗拉多州爆发的哈密瓜引发李氏杆菌疫情已造成
13人死亡，另有数十人感染。
位于亚特兰大的美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)称，这次疫情的感染源是位于美国
西部科罗拉多州霍利市的延森农场(Jensen Farms)的哈密瓜。在李氏杆菌疫情爆发后，
他们已经召回了在格拉纳达、科罗拉多等地种植的哈密瓜产品。
CDC在发布的声明中称，截止目前，已有多个州报告李氏杆菌疫情死亡病例：科罗
拉多州2例；堪萨斯州1例；马里兰州1例；密苏里州1例；内布拉斯加州1例；新墨西哥
州4例；俄克拉何马州1例；得克萨斯州2例。 www.6park.com

FDA confirms Listeria monocytogenes on Jensen Farms’ Rocky Ford-brand
cantaloupes
Jensen Farms voluntarily recalled product last week in response to outbreak
Today, the Food and Drug Administration announced that it found Listeria
monocytogenes in samples of Jensen Farms’ Rocky Ford-brand cantaloupe taken
from a Denver-area store and on samples taken from equipment and cantaloupe
at the Jensen Farms’ packing facility. Tests confirmed that the Listeria
monocytogenes found in the samples matches one of the three different
strains of Listeria monocytogenes associated with the multi-state outbreak
of listeriosis.
Jensen Farms recalled its Rocky Ford-brand cantaloupes on Sept. 14 in
response to the multi-state outbreak of listeriosis. Cantaloupes from other
farms in Colorado, including farms in the Rocky Ford growing area, have not
been linked to this outbreak.
To date, the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention reports that 35
people in 10 states, including four deaths, have been infected with the
outbreak strains of Listeria monocytogenes.
FDA investigators collected cantaloupes and environmental samples from a
Denver-area store and from the Jensen Farms packing facility in Granada,
Colo., after Colorado state health officials identified Jensen Farms’ Rocky
Ford-brand cantaloupes as the common food eaten by several listeriosis
patients.
Jensen Farms, based in Holly, Colo., is cooperating with the FDA and state
officials in Colorado. The company is working with federal and state
authorities to ensure the recalled cantaloupes are promptly removed from the
marketplace. Jensen Farms is also helping federal and state authorities
determine the root cause of how the cantaloupes became contaminated.
The FDA’s root-cause investigation and environmental assessment includes
the on-site expertise of FDA and state of Colorado microbiologists,
environmental health specialists, veterinarians and investigative officers.
The experts conducting the assessment will analyze the evidence, determine
the most likely cause of contamination and identify potential controls to
help prevent contamination in the future. The FDA will use the findings to
help inform agency policy regarding Listeria and produce food safety best
practices.
Jensen Farms shipped the recalled cantaloupes from July 29 through Sept. 10
to at least 17 states with possible further distribution.
The FDA advises consumers—especially persons at high risk for listeriosis,
including older adults, persons with weakened immune systems and pregnant
women—not to eat the recalled cantaloupes and to throw them away. Do not
try to wash the harmful bacteria off the cantaloupe as contamination may be
both on the inside and outside of the cantaloupe. Cutting, slicing and
dicing may also transfer harmful bacteria from the fruit’s surface to the
fruit’s flesh.

For additional information about the outbreak:
• FDA warns consumers not to eat Rocky Ford Cantaloupes shipped by
Jensen Farms
• CDC Investigation on multi-state listeriosis outbreak
• FoodSafety.gov on Listeria
The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and
security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological
products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible
for the safety and security of our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, dietary
supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for
regulating tobacco products.
