On Jul. 14, 2014, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a total of 25 ill persons infected with the outbreak strains of Salmonella Newport (16 persons), Salmonella Hartford (7 persons), or Salmonella Oranienburg (2 persons) have been reported from 14 states. Since the last update on June 11, 2014, 4 additional ill persons were reported from New York (1), Rhode Island (1), and Texas (2).

Illnesses that occurred after June 27, 2014, might not yet be reported due to the time it takes between when a person becomes ill and when the illness is reported. This takes an average of 2 to 4 weeks. The recalled products containing organic sprouted chia powder have a long shelf life and may still be in people’s homes, and illnesses may continue to be reported.
