Hello Anita,
Yes, it was typhoid in 1964. Improper canning was the culprit:
"In 1964 an outbreak of 504 cases of typhoid fever occurred in Aberdeen,
Scotland. The source of the outbreak was cans of corned beef that had been
imported from Argentina. During manufacture, the cans were sterilized by
heating and then cooled in water. Unfortunately, water contaminated with
Salmonella typhi was drawn into the contents of one batch of faulty cans
through small leaks in their seams. In Scotland, the individuals who handled
the meat became infected and the utensils they used were contaminated,
promoting further spread of infection."
