Multistate Foodborne Outbreak Investigations

Outbreaks by Year 2013
2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006

Outbreaks by Pathogen E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella

When two or more people get the same illness from the same contaminated food or drink, the event is called a foodborne outbreak. Public health officials investigate outbreaks to control them, so more people do not get sick in the outbreak, and to learn how to prevent similar outbreaks from happening in the future.

CDC and partners ensure rapid and coordinated surveillance, detection, and response to multistate foodborne outbreaks.

This is wondrful news. But it is sad that such actions are needed. This is an aspect of US society that I'm very jealous of. Nothing like this will ever happen in the UK. We are already and will continue to be brainwashed to the point that we will beg for big brother to take control.

I'm disabled with a multitude of health conditions and diseases, two of which require a specialist and expensive diet.

Today I got a letter from my local government telling me they are introducing a scheme where they will take funds from me and purchase only the food that they think I should be allowed to buy and eat. Milk? tough it's a luxury. Coffee or tea bags? No drink water. Having a cell phone on prepay for health emergencies? Tough. And come my mother's 80th birthday this May I will not be allowed funds to buy her a card and a four pack of her favourite beer, because it's not approved and not on the list. And this comes at a time when legal aid has just been stopped for people like me who will now no longer have any opportunity for limited legal advice in appeals processes. I am also being required to provide receipts for EVERYTHING I buy or spend, such as food, fuel, water, rent, heating, electricity. And this must be supplied on a weekly basis. and they will decide if I can put my heating on or have a daily wash. I knew this was coming but I thought it was still years away.

Something as extravagant as wheat and gluten free bread has become beyond my budget. A standard loaf of bread in the UK is 800g and budget brands can be bought for less than $1.50. The only bread I can eat is long life hard as rock disgusting stuff, that costs me between $10 and $17 for 800g. I have to eat it due to the fact I am unable to prepare meals and live on sandwhiches.

Contrary to popular belief in the UK disability benefits are a tiny part of government spending and the 2nd smallet part of the welfare bill, the vast majority of the cash quite rightly goes out in pensions which people paid in to. Yet you ask anyone and they believe the disabled are slackers and cost th earth.

Those corporations or businesses are required to have insurance which is granted based on passed inspections. That insurance gives them the financial resources to pay for their mistakes. Mom and pop selling goats milk out the back of a truck dont have that...

Are you really this ignorant?

you're the dukey in the punch bowl, man ...do you live your life thinking like that?
you need to refuse to be a victim, dude.

Did I misunderstand some of the wording, or does it state that there will be NO inspection? Meat processing with NO inspection or licensure of any type? HMMM...I have a bit of an issue with that part. I'm not a fan of a lot that the FDA does, but that part could be bad.

THIS ^

With all due respect; I sincerely mean that since I struggling with my own issues related to health.

The reason why you are having issues with health is because you are being told what to do with your health.

If you had the liberty and ability to do with your own health as you please. Then you wouldn't have to answer to anyone.


The disease is not your fault. It's the Government.

Why would they get so upset and controlling about it if there was nothing going on?

Ontop of that. You have the Environmental stressors that play a part in your health.

It's an equation for disaster.

Chemtrails, Environmental Toxins, Eating only specific foods THEY want you to eat (GMO, Pesticides, ETC), Controlling the price of Organic food (WHICH KEEP IN MIND IS EASIER TO GROW THAN TOXIC FOOD), Healthcare, ETC.

It's a wonder why people are sick.

I wish you the best of luck with the health.

I wish the gov would just leave us alone and stop treating us like infants who are incapable of taking care of ourselves.

In a few more generations, we won't be allowed to wipe our own butts, we will need a health permit for that to make sure that A: We properly wiped the area, and B: We wore the proper safety equipment and didn't contaminate our surroundings. That's just in our on homes. God forbid you need to use the bathroom in public. We can't be trusted in a public situation because oh my what if we don't wash our hands??? Nope, gov to the rescue! There will be special gov employees assigned to every public bathroom to both supervise and assist our sanitations, and then tax us accordingly for the mandatory service!!!

Sounds ridiculous right? I'd love to go back 100 years and tell people how our food would one day be controlled the way it is now and watch them laugh me all the way to the crazy farm.

Spectacular advance! For ages, this has been openly done in many parts of Europe. Find you local farmers market and see if they offer any organic, locally grown goods. Apart from vegitables, greens and fruits and meats, you may also want to check out honey (that is not pollen laundered Chinese product you can get in stores).

edit on 11-3-2013 by Wertdagf because: (no reason given)

Insurance doesn't bring people back from the dead or restore destroyed organs. Far less people have been hurt or killed by Moms & Pops selling goat milk out of the back of a truck than the TEN THOUSANDS or more made sick or killed by foods produced by the "Pros". And that's WORLD WIDE bucko!

Loving this! Applause, applause, applause to this town! Now, a LOT more need to follow suit. It's past time we told the stupid feds to stay out of our mouths! What we eat is OUR business. What we drink is OUR business. What we think is our business. I will never understand why anyone would want some government agency telling them how to live every aspect of their lives. Are we toddlers, that are too stupid to make decisions? Well, I am not! Let those that are hire themselves a babysitter.

Besides, all those national news stories of food contamination were NOT from local foods, but mass produced, government-approved food sources. Some great job they are doing, eh?

As seen in the UK, this is all part of the UN Agenda 21, to mandate food production, use, distribution, and storage ( you are not allowed to be a prepper, and have a month, let alone a year's worth of food stored) all brought to you by the Monsanto GMO company.

They are making us into gov't slaves - just like ancient Egypt.
