The table below shows outbreak investigations being managed by [FDA’s CORE Response Teams](https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/about-core-network?ref=foodsafetynews.com). The investigations are in a variety of stages. Some outbreaks have limited information with active investigations ongoing, others may be near completion or concluded.

Onsite inspections have begun for outbreaks associated with E. coli in cake mixes and an as yet unknown source for Cyclospora cases

The Food and Drug Administration will issue public health advisories for outbreak investigations that result in “specific, actionable steps for consumers — such as throwing out or avoiding specific foods — to take to protect themselves,” according to the outbreak table page.

Not all recalls and alerts result in an outbreak of foodborne illness.

Outbreak investigations that do not result in specific, actionable steps for consumers may or may not conclusively identify a source or reveal any contributing factors, according to CORE’s outbreak table page. If a source(s) and/or contributing factors are identified that could inform future prevention, FDA commits to providing a summary of those findings, according to CORE officials.
