Posted on August 27, 2024 by | Leave a comment

FDA

What’s New

  • A new outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes illnesses (ref #1247) linked to a not yet identified product has been added to the table. There are a total of 3 cases, and FDA has initiated traceback.
  • For the outbreak of Cyclospora cayetanensis illnesses (ref #1245) linked to a not yet identified product, the case count has increased from 21 to 35. FDA has initiated an inspection and sampling.
  • For the outbreak of Salmonella Newport (ref #1248) linked to a not yet identified product, the case count has increased from 3 to 4. FDA has initiated an inspection.
  • For the outbreak of Cyclospora cayetanensis (ref #1237), FDA has initiated sampling.
  • For the outbreak of Salmonella Irumu (ref #1235), the outbreak has ended, and FDA’s investigation has closed. CDC, FDA, and state and local partners conducted epidemiologic and traceback investigations and identified mangoes as the source of illnesses in this outbreak. FDA collected and analyzed product samples as part of the investigation, but all samples were reported as negative for Salmonella. Due to the lack of additional supporting evidence, investigators were unable to determine a specific source of contamination while the outbreak was considered ongoing. This outbreak is over. All product is past shelf life and is no longer on the market. There is no ongoing risk to public health.

An “alarming number” of 400 dogs are thought to have died over the past month in Zambia after eating contaminated maize and humans could be at risk too, the country’s health minister has said.

Elijah Muchima announced that approximately half of the 25 samples taken from milling companies were found to contain exceedingly high levels of aflatoxins, a poisonous substance produced by fungi.
