Outbreak/Illness Investigations

TAIWAN): Taoyuan City Government Health Bureau reports 155 cases of staphylococcal food poisoning linked to bento boxes from Ueno BBQ Rice restaurant in Neili, Taoyuan City.

USA (Update): CDC and FDA have closed their investigation into an outbreak of 9 cases of E. coli O157:H7 illnesses linked epidemiologically to raw milk and raw cheddar cheese from RAW FARM LLC. Three of the victims were hospitalized, one suffering from HUS. FDA found a strain of E. coli O157:H7 in a sample of raw cheddar cheese collected as part of its investigation, but the strain did not match that of the current outbreak. Instead, it matched a strain recovered from patients of a different 2025 outbreak investigated by CDC. The source of that outbreak was never determined.
