This tool makes it easy to find the information you need to know about tainted product that may have been widely distributed. From this chart, you can find:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Item contaminated<\/li><li>Investigation status<\/li><li>Links to advisories<\/li><li>Whether a recall has been initiated<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Just one quick look will tell certified food protection managers if ingredients in their inventory have been subject of an outbreak investigation, and with a few clicks you can even see where the actual product came from and if it&#8217;s been recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides FDA outbreak and investigation information, you can easily access <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/foodsafety\/outbreaks\/multistate-outbreaks\/index.html\">CDC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fsis.usda.gov\/wps\/portal\/fsis\/topics\/recalls-and-public-health-alerts\/foodborne-outbreak-investigation\/outbreak-response\">FSIS<\/a> outbreak incidence reports. Before the FDA developed this resource, you&#8217;d have to search all three agencies&#8217; sites for all the intel concerning large outbreaks in the United States. Multi-agency information is now conveniently available at certified food protection managers&#8217; fingertips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is having easy access to foodborne illness outbreak information something you find helpful in keeping the food you serve safe?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, major foodborne illness outbreaks, like those involving romaine lettuce over the past few years, grab national attention, but more often than not these outbreaks fly under the radar of the average certified food protection manager.
