The last two FDA CORE Outbreak Investigation Table updates have lots of changes, including a closed investigation that identified mangoes as the source of infection. There are currently five active investigations on the Table; four have been solved.
The E. coli O157:H7 outbreak that is linked to Raw Farms raw Cheddar cheese has been added to the table. In this outbreak, at least seven people in three states are sick; most of them children. The case count by state is: California (5), Florida (1), and Texas (1). The patient age range is from 1 to 28 years, with the median age of 3. More than half of the patients are under the age of 5. Illness onset dates range from September 1, 2025 to February 13, 2025. Of the 7 patients who gave information to public health officials, 2 have been hospitalized, for a hospitalization rate of 29%. Raw Farm has refused to issue a recall of this cheese, so the FDA is warning consumers not to eat it. An inspection has been initiated.
In the Salmonella Newport outbreak in a not yet identified product, the total case count has been increased from 54 to 60. The FDA has initiated traceback and has initiated sampling.
The outbreak of Salmonella Saintpaul is over; the illnesses were linked to mangoes. When investigators had enough evidence to confirmed mangoes as the source, the outbreak was over, and the mangoes were past their shelf life and no longer available for purchase.
