Article Synopsis
- About 800 foodborne disease outbreaks occur annually in the U.S., with few linked to food recalls.
- A study comparing 226 outbreak cases from 2006-2016 revealed that recall-associated outbreaks generally had more illnesses, hospitalizations, and fatalities than those not linked to recalls.
- Salmonella was the leading cause of recall-associated outbreaks, primarily involving dairy, beef, and molluscs, while many recalls occurred after or during the outbreak, indicating a need for better identification and traceability to prevent illness.
