Salmonella hits festivalgoers in Spain
More than 160 people have fallen sick after attending a music and food festival in Spain.
At least 162 people have been infected by Salmonella after eating food at Trasan Fest festival held on June 27 and 28 in Oza Cesuras (A Coruña). Of these, 22 have required hospitalization.
The incident prompted a health alert from the General Directorate of Public Health of the Sergas (Galician Health Service).
Initial investigations suggest a link to one of the festival’s food stalls selling tortillas. A Spanish tortilla usually is made with eggs and potatoes. Health officials are conducting epidemiological surveys among those affected to identify the specific source of the outbreak.
Call for inspections
In a statement, organizers of the festival said they deeply regretted the incident.
“We are collaborating with the authorities to locate the source of the incident, likely linked to a raw material supplied by one of our suppliers,” they said.
Consumer group FACUA Galicia is calling on Galicia’s Ministry of Health to conduct inspections of all establishments, food trucks, or mobile food vendors at venues hosting music festivals or other cultural events, to prevent such food poisoning incidents.
FACUA said people affected by the Salmonella outbreak have the right to claim compensation for the days during which they suffered harm to their health.
Proof of the type of injury sustained, with the appropriate medical report, is needed. It would also be useful to have proof of consumption of the product or a medical report linking the Salmonella infection to the product’s consumption.
In 2023, the most frequently identified causative agent in outbreaks was Salmonella with 350, which also resulted in the highest number of outbreak-associated patients at 2,747, hospitalizations with 356 and four deaths. The largest Salmonella outbreak affected 159 people. Several outbreaks were associated with the consumption of eggs and egg products.
