According to the agency, a single common supplier of ground beef has not been identified. So far, federal health officials are not advising consumers to stop eating ground beef and have not told retailers to stop selling the product.
The agency is reminding people on how to safely handle and cook ground beef to prevent food poisoning.
Officials said 10 people in six states became infected with salmonella. At least eight of those people had to be hospitalized and one person died in the outbreak. The particular strain of salmonella in this outbreak, salmonella Dublin, causes more severe infections that can infect the blood, according to the agency.
The illnesses were reported in California, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Iowa.
The people interviewed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported eating different types and brands of ground beef from many different locations.
Illnesses started on dates ranging from August 8 to September 22.
