- There are a number of Salmonella outbreak that have sickened many but have yet to be linked to a food product. The E. coli outbreak is still linked to Wendy’s, but a specific food item has not been called by the FDA, although lettuce is the prime suspect. The CDC likely will update numbers today. The FDA did close the Lucky Charms investigation without determining a causative agent. Hope that it is not the same conclusion on the ongoing – but not yet updated – Daily Harvest outbreak.
- For the Salmonella Mississippi outbreak (ref# 1097) in a not yet identified product, the case count has increased from 99 to 100 cases.
- For the Salmonella Senftenberg outbreak (ref# 1087) in a not yet identified food, the case count has increased from 22 to 27 cases.
- For the Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak (ref# 1095) in a not yet identified food, the case count has increased from 73 to 78 cases.
- For the Cyclospora outbreak (ref# 1080) the case count has increased from 75 to 79 cases.
- For the Salmonella Braenderup outbreak (ref# 1075) the FDA investigation has closed. A product linked to illnesses was not identified.
- The investigation associated with Dry Cereal (ref # 1064) has ended and the FDA investigation has closed with no pathogen or cause of the self-reported illnesses identified, despite extensive testing for numerous potential microbial and chemical adulterants.
