CDC, public health and regulatory officials in several states and the USDA's FSIS investigated a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis infections associated with Metabolic Meals home delivery items.

A total of 21 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella were reported from 13 states. Illnesses started on dates ranging from July 24, 2025, to October 3, 2025. Of the 19 people with information available, 8 were hospitalized and no deaths were reported.

State and local public health officials interviewed people about the foods they ate in the week before they got sick.

This suggested that people in this outbreak got sick from eating certain Metabolic Meals prepared menu items.
