It's Tuesday, September 30, 2025. Today’s newsletter highlights a CDC report on Salmonella outbreaks, a deadly E. coli outbreak in Belgium, and new developments in lab-made dairy alternatives.
Recently published research shows that Salmonella caused the highest number of multi-state intestinal disease outbreaks in 2023.
The report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the agency investigated 181 possible multi-state outbreaks and determined 84 of the incidents to actually be multi-state outbreaks.
An E. coli outbreak in Belgium with more than 70 cases and nine deaths has been linked to ground beef.
The Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC) said no samples of the affected batch of meat were available, so the source cannot be confirmed with absolute certainty.
Cow-free milk is moving from science labs to grocery shelves, with Israeli companies Strauss Group and Imagindairy set to launch animal-free dairy products this month. Using precision fermentation, they aim to deliver milk identical in protein to the real thing — without cows, cholesterol, or lactose.
Two Campylobacter outbreaks in Denmark have been traced to Danish chicken meat.
Between July 14 and Sept. 13, the Statens Serum Institut (SSI) registered two outbreaks of Campylobacter jejuni with 57 patients.
