FDA Adds Two New Salmonella Outbreak Investigations Totaling 49 Cases, Product Not Yet Identified
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on November 12, 2026, updated its foodborne illness outbreak investigation table, adding two new Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak investigations totaling 49 cases. The food products linked to either outbreak have not yet been identified, and the FDA has initiated traceback for both.
The two new outbreaks are listed as reference 1425, with 35 cases, and reference 1427, with 14 cases. Both are marked active and ongoing, with no recall initiated and no on-site inspection or sampling yet underway.
The same update raised the case count of an earlier Salmonella Javiana outbreak from 65 to 70, with inspection and sampling initiated; adjusted an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak linked to multi-ingredient wraps with chicken to 51 cases; and raised a Listeria monocytogenes outbreak from 51 to 52 cases.
The FDA said its CORE Response Teams manage these outbreak and adverse event investigations, which sit at different stages, some with limited information. The agency publicly names a specific product only when there is sufficient evidence to implicate it, and neither new outbreak yet carries specific actionable steps for consumers. Further developments will follow updates to the FDA investigation table. (Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration)
