Another cyclospora outbreak and a new Salmonella outbreak are listed on the FDA‘s CORE Outbreak Investigation Table, bringing the number of outbreaks under investigation to eight. Six of those eight outbreaks are unsolved.
The newest outbreak is a cyclospora outbreak that has sickened at least two people. The FDA has initiated traceback but has not collected samples or started inspections.
A new Salmonella Newport outbreak is on the table with two people sick. No product has been identified as the cause of the illnesses. The FDA has not initiated traceback, has not collected samples, or started inspections.
The other two cyclospora outbreaks are unchanged. In the first outbreak, there are 26 patients, and in the second, there are 16 patients. In both of these outbreaks, the FDA has initiated traceback.
For the outbreak of Salmonella Irumu, the FDA has initiated sampling. There are 32 people sick in this outbreak.
