Montana currently has 11 confirmed Salmonella Poona victims which epidemiological testing has determined are indistinguishable by PFGE analysis from the nearly 300 other Salmonella Poona victims in 27 states. The Montana victims are residents of Cascade, Fergus, Flathead, Gallatin, Lewis & Clark, Park, Musselshell and Yellowstone counties. And while Montana authorities have yet to name the source, the FDA and CDC were less recalcitrant — and identified that cucumbers had been coming up with amazing regularity in their interviews, in which nearly 75% of the interviewed victims report they ate cucumbers in the week prior to becoming ill. The results of this effective trace-back investigation further showed that the cucumbers came from Baja, Mexico, and were imported by Andrews & Williamson Fresh Produce. This information led to a recall by Andrew Williamson Fresh Produce (A&W) of all of its Limited Edition cucumbers on the market.
According to Ron Simon, a Salmonella lawyer who has filed thousands of Salmonella lawsuits and claims, this Salmonella Poona outbreak will likely be one of the largest Salmonella out breaks this year. “This cucumber outbreak has already led to Salmonella cucumber lawsuits against Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce, and we are likely to see many more before the final numbers come in,” says Simon. In Montana, Simon added, the victims of the Salmonella cucumber outbreak have very important legal rights, including the right to file a Montana Salmonella cucumber lawsuit or Montana Salmonella cucumber claim in the state.
