Question
The FDA, along with CDC and state and local partners, investigated a multistate outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections in the October of 2020. The epidemiology and traceback investigation have determined that the outbreak was linked to leafy greens. On 12/22/2020, the CDC announced that this outbreak appears to be over. The outbreak was a bit more widespread but was primarily in the West and Midwest. The map below shows the geographic distribution of cases: CA WA OR UT AZ WY Total Illnesses: 40 Hospitalizations: 20 (4 Cases HUS) Deaths: 0 ND KS TX MN MO WI MI IN TN CDC SENTER FOR I OH PA VA Ill people 1 2 3-4 5-6 Last Illness Onset Date: October 31, 2020 States with Cases: AZ (2), CA (6), IL (2), IN (1), KS (4), MI (3), MN (2), MO (3), ND (4), OH (1), OR (1), PA (2), TN (2), TX (1), UT (1), VA (1), WA (1), WI (2), WY (1) People of any age can become infected with pathogenic E. coli. Children under the age of 5 years, adults older than 65, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop severe illness as a result of an E. coli infection. One method of preventing the spread of e-coli is submitting a voluntary report, complaint, or adverse event related to a food product.
