Update: Salmonella Javiana Outbreak Cases Rise to 70 as FDA Begins Inspection and Sampling
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated its foodborne outbreak investigation table on November 12: for the Salmonella Javiana outbreak listed as reference #1424, the case count has increased from 65 to 70, and the FDA has initiated an inspection and sample collection on top of the traceback already under way.
The outbreak was posted to the FDA table on October 28, 2026, and remains active and ongoing. The product linked to the illnesses has not yet been identified, and no recall has been initiated. The table shows traceback, inspection and sampling all now initiated for this investigation.
GSM has followed this outbreak: 59 cases were reported when the investigation opened on October 29, and the count rose to 65 by November 5, when FDA traceback began. The latest update means cases are still climbing and the investigation is stepping up.
In the same update, FDA added two new Salmonella Enteritidis outbreaks, reference #1427 with 14 cases and reference #1425 with 35 cases, both with products not yet identified and traceback initiated.
Until a source is identified, the practical protection is routine kitchen hygiene: keep raw and cooked foods separate, cook food thoroughly, and wash hands after handling raw ingredients. Anyone with diarrhea, fever or similar symptoms who suspects a food link should seek care and tell local public health officials what they ate before getting sick, exactly the information investigators need to find the source.
