It’s Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2025. Today we’re tracking major developments in ByHeart’s sweeping declaration that all its infant formula may be contaminated, rising raw milk–related illnesses in Idaho, a large and unresolved E. coli outbreak in Germany, and new research into livestock sources of major Salmonella types across Europe. Here’s what’s shaping the food safety landscape before Thanksgiving.
ByHeart, the company whose powdered infant formula has been linked to an outbreak of infant botulism, is saying all of its products could be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum Type A.
Public health officials in Idaho are investigating two outbreaks of foodborne illnesses traced to unpasteurized, raw milk.
At least 23 cases of Campylobacter infections have been recorded since Aug. 1. And, there have been three cases of E. coli infections, according to a Nov. 25 statement from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.
A deadly E. coli outbreak in Germany remains unsolved despite more than 400 people falling ill and three deaths.
In August 2025, an outbreak caused by enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) was detected. Most cases occurred in the north and west of the country.
An analysis of major Salmonella types across several countries has revealed they are mainly linked to various livestock sources.
