Posted on August 28, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Taipei Times

Thirty-five people have sought medical treatment for acute symptoms after allegedly eating banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches) from a vendor in Jhubei City (竹北), the Hsinchu County Public Health Bureau said yesterday.

The bureau said that since Saturday, it has received several reports of suspected food poisoning from hospitals.

The vendor has been ordered to temporarily suspend its business, it said, adding that tests were being conducted to determine whether the people had food poisoning, with results expected in about two weeks.

USA- FDA – Investigations of Foodborne Illness Outbreaks

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.
