There is no indication that the clinical presentation of S. Stanley cases differs from usual Salmonella infections caused by other commonly occurring non-typhoidal serovars, especially in terms of severity [4]. Symptoms in Salmonella infections usually include diarrhoea (sometimes bloody), fever, abdominal cramps and vomiting [5]. Since 1995, several local and international outbreaks of gastroenteritis caused by S. Stanley have been reported in Europe [6-11]. The sources of the outbreaks were among other alfalfa sprouts, peanuts, soft cheese, and turkey meat. Between 2006 and 2013, 24 EU/EEA countries reported a total of 4 300 cases of S. Stanley infection to the European Surveillance System (TESSy). In 2012, an outbreak of S. Stanley infection was notified, with a peak in the number of cases in August 2012 (Figure 1).
