FDA has issued a report on the Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak in peaches

During the summer of 2020, the FDA and a number of state and federal partners examined an outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis illnesses connected to peach consumption. The epidemic resulted in 101 illnesses recorded across 17 states, including 28 hospitalizations. This appears to be the first time that peaches have been connected to a Salmonella outbreak. According to FDA, the outbreak was most likely caused by peaches packed or supplied by a big grower/producer, according to the epidemiological and traceback study.  

During the investigation, over 700 tests were performed on environmental, peach, and peach tree leaf samples. Four tests on peach and peach tree leaf samples obtained from an orchard next to a poultry facility showed positives for Salmonella Alachua, despite no test results matched the 2020 outbreak strain. Two analyses of peach tree leaf samples taken from orchards close to a cattle feedlot during the follow-up study showed positives for Salmonella Montevideo. While investigators were unable to locate the outbreak strain, and the Salmonella strains discovered during the outbreak were not related to any clinical illnesses, and the exploratory findings support the FDA's concerns about the possible influence that adjacent land uses might have on produce safety.  

The FDA advises all producers to be aware of and analyze the dangers posed by nearby and adjacent land uses, particularly the possibility for dust exposure.
