5 Symptoms Of Salmonella As Tomatoes Linked To Dozens Of Cases
Food safety watchdogs have linked 2024′s unusually high incidence of salmonella to tomatoes, The Independent shared. UKHSA data showed that the UK saw a salmonella peak last year, with 17.1% rise compared to 2023 (the highest figures of the decade). The Salmonella Strathcona outbreak, which is particularly dangerous, and the Salmonella Blockley strain, which is concerning because it's not previously been seen much in Europe, were both linked to tomatoes. 'Tomatoes were... blamed for a Salmonella Strathcona outbreak with 24 patients,' Food Safety News shared, while 84 Salmonella Blockley cases were said to come from the fruit. It's also been associated with eggs and red meat. Early 2025 data shows salmonella reports were high in the first quarter of this year, too. Which tomatoes have been linked to salmonella in the UK? We don't know which tomatoes in particular were linked to the disease, or where they came from. We also don't know where they were sold in the UK. But usually, salmonella in tomatoes comes from water supplies as they grow. Worker hygiene and nearby animals can also affect susceptibility, CBS News added. Can you wash salmonella off tomatoes? You should always wash your produce to prevent disease. But Virginia Tech food microbiologist Robert Williams told CBS News: 'We know you can wash off some salmonella... [but] nobody's ever shown it washes off all salmonella.' Still, equally, nobody's shown it doesn't, and washing fruits and vegetables helps to prevent other illnesses too. The Food Standards Agency says we should 'wash them under a running tap, or in a bowl of fresh water, making sure to rub their skin under the water'. Begin with the least soiled produce first and give fruit and veg a last rinse after the scrub. What are the symptoms of Salmonella? Per the NHS, symptoms can take anywhere from six hours to three days (or more) after infection to show. These include: Loose stools (usually without blood or mucus) Abdominal (tummy) pain Fever, headache Nausea (feeling sick) and/or vomiting General tiredness. Most people will recover in three to seven days. Many cases will go away on their own, but if you have severe symptoms, see your GP. 'In most cases, it is generally advised to wait until 48 hours after last having diarrhoea or sickness before returning to work or school/nursery,' the health service adds. Washing hands, chilling and cooking food properly, and avoiding all 'raw' dairy can help prevent the disease. Related...

Celebrations as new £62.5m school in Abergavenny takes a step closer
Morgan Sindall Construction has successfully completed the main building phase of the project and representatives from the firm, Monmouthshire County Council, and project partners gathered to hand over the new school building to the client. Procured via the SEWSCAP framework, the £62.5 million project delivers a purpose-built, all-through school for Monmouthshire County Council. It will bring together primary, secondary, and sixth form education on a single site and when complete will include 15,000 square metres of teaching space, wellbeing zones, sensory rooms, home economics areas, and dedicated Special Resource Base (SRB) spaces to support pupils with additional learning needs. It will offer a 3G football pitch, a 2G hockey pitch, a cycle training zone and Multi-Use Games Area. Constructed using a steel frame and incorporating GGBS cement to reduce embodied carbon, the school is the council's first designed to be Net Zero Carbon in operation. The project team had a number of challenges to overcome including including managing high groundwater levels and working on a sloping site. A key adaptation was made to the sheet piling design to preserve a 700-year-old oak tree, which is now a central feature of the landscape plan. During the project Morgan Sindall created 60 new jobs for those not in education, employment or training or the long-term unemployed, while supporting 22 new apprentices. The team engaged more than 9,323 pupils through STEM activities and donated more than 1,000 hours to school engagement programmes. Robert Williams, area director for Morgan Sindall Construction in Wales, said: 'We're incredibly proud to have delivered this transformative project for Monmouthshire County Council and the local community. King Henry VIII 3-19 School represents not only a major investment in education but also in sustainable construction and inclusive design. 'This project is a testament to what can be achieved through early collaboration, intelligent planning, and a shared commitment to creating inspiring learning environments. "I'd like to thank the client team at Monmouth, the consultants and our project team, supply chain, and all our partners for their hard work and dedication in bringing this vision to life. "A fantastic project that has been not only a great delivery success but has also built some wonderful friendships and relationships along the way - a true collaboration with one shared goal."

Celtics' trade proposal for Robert Williams brings much-needed depth
The post Celtics' trade proposal for Robert Williams brings much-needed depth appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Boston Celtics have a pressing need at the center position, and because of that, the Celtics should trade with the Portland Trail Blazers for Robert Williams. Advertisement The Celtics have made some big trades this offseason in an effort to get their finances in check. They traded Jrue Holiday for Anferee Simons before making a separate deal involving Kristaps Porzingis that netted Georges Niang. With Jayson Tatum out for the upcoming season because of his torn Achilles, it made sense to make the moves necessary to get under the second apron. Even so, Boston isn't entering a full rebuilding mode. They still expect to contend upon Tatum's return, and in a weak Eastern Conference, they will even still look to win games next season. The Trail Blazers seem destined to trade a center, and Williams has a history in Boston. So what would a Williams-to-Boston deal look like? Celtics' possible trade package for Robert Williams Celtics receive: Robert Williams Advertisement Trail Blazers receive: Sam Hauser, Xavier Tillman, JD Davison, second-round pick The Trail Blazers drafted yet another center in the 2025 NBA Draft. A year after choosing Donovan Clingan in the lottery, Portland selected Yang Hansen 16th overall. The rookie from China will add to a depth chart that also features Deandre Ayton, Duop Reath, and Williams. One, two, or potentially even three of those players need to go, as there simply aren't enough minutes to go around, and none of them can share the floor together. Ayton and Williams are the likely trade candidates, but the former first overall pick may cost a pretty penny. Williams, meanwhile, could likely be had for cheap especially because he is quite far down the center pecking order in Portland. Advertisement The decision to draft Hansen was one of many peculiar moves this offseason for the Trail Blazers. Additionally, they had previously worked with the Celtics in the Holiday trade. Anfernee Simons was sent to Boston in that deal, and although the Trail Blazers were widely criticized for that move, they are clearly comfortable negotiating with the Celtics. This trade would be a much better deal for Portland than the Holiday trade was. Sam Hauser is one of the best catch-and-shoot 3-point specialists in the NBA, which is a niche the Trail Blazers need. Hauser's 8.5 points per game last season were far superior to Williams' scoring output, and he has been a more reliable option when it comes to health throughout his career, too. Should the Celtics trade for Robert Williams? Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sports With Porzingis already shipped away and Al Horford nearing retirement, the Celtics need help at center. Williams has never been able to stay healthy consistently, which is part of the reason he was shipped from Boston to Portland in the first place, but he was a great fit for the Celtics when he was able to stay on the floor during his days with the team. Advertisement Williams' nickname is 'Timelord' because he is one of the best at blocking shots in the NBA. He is also a serviceable lob threat and put-back artist. Williams could play behind or alongside Horford if the veteran has another season in him. He'd be even more valuable if Horford decides to retire or not re-sign. Losing Hauser wouldn't be easy for the Celtics, but it would continue their offseason trend of getting their finances in check. Williams only has one year left on his contract, whereas Hauser is on the books for four more seasons. As of now, the Celtics will bank on Neemias Queta to play heavy minutes at the center unless they re-sign Luke Kornet and/or Horford. Regardless, the Celtics need more help at the five spot. Boston's roster is going to look a whole lot different next season, and they probably shouldn't stop making changes now.
