USA – FDA – Investigations of Foodborne Illness Outbreaks

FDA

What’s New

  • For the outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium illnesses (ref #1234) linked to a not yet identified product, the case count has increased from 53 to 80.
  • For the investigation of illnesses (ref #1233) linked to Diamond Shruumz-brand Chocolate Bars, Cones, and Gummies, the advisory has been updated to include additional illnesses. On June 27, 2024, Prophet Premium Blends, LLC of Santa Ana, CA, initiated a recall of all flavors of Diamond Shruumz-brand products.
  • For the outbreak of Salmonella Africana and Salmonella Braenderup illnesses (ref #1227), FDA has updated the advisory. While originally reported as two separate outbreaks, CDC and FDA combined these two outbreak investigations. Laboratory, epidemiological, and traceback data have determined that cucumbers from Bedner Growers, Inc., of Boynton Beach, Florida, are a likely source of illnesses in this outbreak; however, this single grower does not account for all the illnesses in this outbreak. Additional information is available in the advisory.
