The outbreak was linked to small cafes, restaurants and takeaways, according to the UK Health Security Agency.
The cases were spread over three different clusters which are genetically different but part of a wider family of Salmonella enteritidis, UKHSA said.
The majority of cases, 305, and one death, were linked to one strain of the illness in England.
All the Salmonella samples from patients seen in hospitals are analysed through genome sequencing, which allows authorities to identify the outbreak’s starting point.
Symptoms of Salmonella are mild in most cases, causing diarrhoea, stomach cramps, vomiting and fever.
But infections can sometimes be serious, particularly in young children, pregnant women, older people and people with weakened immune systems.
