The National Reference Center for Salmonella at the Pasteur Institute in Paris recorded 26 cases of salmonellosis in October and November with 17 patients classified as children.
 The causal agent was Salmonella Bovismorbificans. The vehicle of infection was identified as a dried sausage product manufactured by France Salaison according to the Directorate General for Health, equivalent to the U.S. CDC. The implicated dry sausage product was stocked by all the major supermarket chains in France and product was also incorporated into further processed items, including sandwiches. Authorities in France have issued warnings to consumers with illustrations of the affected products and brand names.
