Salmonella outbreak in Val Trompia schools
Overview
A salmonella outbreak linked to school meals in the Val Trompia region of Brescia, Italy, has affected an increasing number of people. Initially reported with 89 symptomatic cases, including children, parents, and staff, the number of affected individuals rose to at least 117 by September 18.
The outbreak is primarily associated with meals served on September 10 and 11, 2026, at nurseries, kindergartens, and primary schools. Specific menu items under investigation include baked fish and pasta with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella.
As of the latest reports, 13 children born between 2022 and 2025 have been hospitalized, though their conditions are described as stable or improving. Local administrations have suspended services from the catering company involved, switching to alternative cooking centers.
Health authorities (ATS Brescia) are conducting epidemiological investigations to reconstruct the chain of infection, while the Carabinieri's NAS unit is investigating the food supply chain to determine potential criminal responsibilities.
