A new summary report highlights findings from 203 possible multistate enteric (intestinal) disease outbreaks investigated by the CDC in 2024. Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Campylobacter caused these outbreaks. The most common sources included vegetable crops, chicken, dairy, and backyard poultry. While Listeria outbreaks were fewer, they caused the most serious illnesses. Preliminary data from the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet), which represents 15% of the U.S. population, show that reported infections for some common foodborne germs increased or remained stable in 2024 compared with 2016–2018. Infections increased for Cyclospora, Shigella, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), Vibrio, and Yersinia and remained steady for Listeria and Salmonella. CDC also released a summary report of U.S. infections reported for 2024 to the Cholera and Other Vibrio Illness Surveillance (COVIS) system. The summary describes the Vibrio species causing the most illness; whether people were infected by eating seafood or through contact with marine water, seafood drippings, or marine animals; and patterns in who became sick. The Interagency Food Safety Analytics (IFSAC) released a report of annual estimates of foodborne illness attributed to 17 food categories for Salmonella, E. coli O157, and Listeria for 2023. IFSAC calculated the estimates using 1998–2023 foodborne outbreak data. The report continues IFSAC's work to inform food safety initiatives, interventions, and policies. @ https://www.cdc.gov/foodborne-outbreaks/php/data-research/summary-2024.html?ACSTrackingID=DM156008&ACSTrackingLabel=Food%20Safety%20Updates%20From%20CDC&deliveryName=DM156008
