UPDATED: Foppen's 'grief' as two die from infected salmon

Two people in the Netherlands have died from eating salmonella-infected salmon produced by Dutch seafood company Foppen, according to the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM).

RIVM toldIntraFish that 550 people have fallen ill from eating the salmon and 200 ended up in hospital. The number of people infected could be as high as 10,000, a spokesperson told IntraFish, as not everybody infected reports it.

"There's been a very exceptional and large outbreak, and we expect the next week that there is still a lot of cases to recover," said RIVM director Roel Coutinho told local media.
