E. coli O121 outbreak in U.S. source unknown

The following is from a list of outbreak investigations being managed
by FDA’s CORE Response Teams. The investigations are in a variety of
stages, meaning that some outbreaks have limited information, and
others may be near completion. 

A public health advisory will be issued for outbreak investigations
that have resulted in specific, actionable steps for consumers to take
to protect themselves. Please direct your attention to those pages for
the most up to date information on the investigation and for consumer
protection information. 

Outbreak investigations that do not result in specific, actionable
steps for consumers may or may not conclusively identify a source or
reveal any contributing factors. If a source and/or contributing
factors are identified that could inform future prevention, the FDA
commits to providing a summary of those findings.
