Food Safety Brief, with the receipts
A public-health dashboard tracking US foodborne outbreaks, recalls, implicated foods, and related news from CDC, FDA, and USDA data.
- For
- People tracking food recalls and outbreak investigations
- Worth noticing
- The dashboard separates public CDC notices from the CDC’s larger set of active investigations that may never become public notices.
Field notes
The page combines CDC outbreak notices with FDA and USDA recall information, then groups recently implicated foods by category and links individual entries to source material. Its methods text makes an important distinction between publicly announced multistate outbreaks and the much larger estimated burden of sporadic foodborne illness. The dashboard reports 38 additional CDC investigations that may never become public notices, while its news layer openly records that a citation check failed twice.
