/>i- FDA’s Coordinated Outbreak Response & Evaluation (CORE) Network recently released its 2022 annual report summarizing investigations into foodborne outbreaks and adverse events. This is CORE’s first annual report since it was established in 2011.
- In 2022, CORE evaluated 65 incidents, including potential and confirmed outbreaks and adverse events; initiated 28 responses to outbreaks that appeared to be caused by an FDA-regulated food; and issued 11 public health advisories to provide actionable advice about a food linked to an outbreak.
- Of the responses linked to an identifiable product, 37 percent were related to produce, 32 percent were related to multi-ingredient foods, dairy, fish, and nuts and seeds, and 31 percent were related to other or unknown foods categories. The report highlights noteworthy outbreaks from 2022, including Enoki mushrooms, cantaloupe, and peanut butter.
- CORE is a network of science, medicine, and public health experts with teams intended to evaluate and control outbreaks related to FDA-regulated foods. A list of active and past investigations is available on the outbreak table webpage.
