CORE update as of June 21, 2023, the CORE list of outbreaks and adverse events includes five active cases. For the outbreak of Salmonella Paratyphi B var. L(+) tartrate+ (ref #1157) in a not yet identified product, the case count increased from 31 to 33. For the outbreak of Cyclospora cayetanensis (ref #1159), the case count has increased from 28 to 34 cases. For the outbreak of Cyclospora cayetanensis (ref #1155), CDC, FDA, and state and local partners have determined that the outbreak has ended and have closed the investigation. Based on epidemiological investigations conducted by CDC and state and local partners, ill people reported eating broccoli before becoming sick. FDA and state and local partners conducted traceback investigations and determined that the product of interest was imported broccoli. FDA, state, and local partners also collected and analyzed product samples; all samples were negative for Cyclospora. Due to the absence of supporting evidence from traceback and sample collection, investigators could not confirm a specific type or producer of imported broccoli as the outbreak's source.# https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/investigations-foodborne-illness-outbreaks?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
