Just how big in the Taylor Farms/Taco Bell outbreak? Are there other outbreaks linked to other products? Are others foreign or domestically acquired? Many questions?

In the last day the numbers came further into view — not because the federal count moved, but because two states caught up to it. Ohio, which the CDC still carries in the low hundreds, now reports more than 1,300 cases through its own health department; Michigan crossed 5,000. Indiana climbed to 327, Illinois to 277, and Maryland doubled to 69. Add up what the fifty state health departments are actually reporting and the national total is now roughly 8,700 — closing in on 9,000, and more than five times the 1,644 the government has confirmed. The chart below reflects those numbers.

Here is where all fifty state health departments stood as of July 17, 2026 — the number each reports for 2026, and whether it calls those cases part of an outbreak.
