Multi-state outbreaks are not particularly common, but they are particularly dangerous. A little more than half of all deaths associated with foodborne outbreaks come from multi-state outbreaks, according to a new report released Tuesday, Nov. 3, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Tuesday as part of its latest Vital Signs issue. According to data from CDC’s Foodborne Disease Outbreak Surveillance System, there were 120 multi-state foodborne disease outbreaks reported in the U.S. between 2010 and 2014.
