COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – The CDC, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), and the FDA are currently investigating a salmonella outbreak that sickened more than 100 people in 14 states. Colorado was heavily impacted with 82 of the ill people living in 14 Colorado counties.
CDPHE says the cases have been linked to seafood manufactures or processed by Northeast Seafood Products, Inc. of Denver.
The CDC says the majority of those who are sick are either Colorado residents or reported traveling to Colorado the week before they got sick. Only two people did not travel to Colorado before they got sick.

These products were sold to restaurants and Albertsons, Safeway, and Sprouts supermarkets in Colorado through October 7, 2021. The Pacific Cod sold through Sprouts is not being recalled.
