While the epidemiology of many diseases, such as Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection, is well-characterized in the United States, the epidemiology of infections caused by E. coli other than STEC (non-STEC) is not. This report describes non-STEC outbreaks reported to the National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS) during 2009-2023. Historically, non-STEC infection was considered travel-associated with limited domestic transmission. During 2009-2023, 230 domestic non-STEC outbreaks were documented, demonstrating that non-STEC can be domestically acquired. Diarrhea (98% of outbreaks), vomiting (79%), and fever (66%) were frequently reported symptoms. Most non-STEC outbreaks were linked to foodborne (38%) or person-to-person (39%) transmission. The majority of reported outbreaks occurred during the latter half of the surveillance period (88%), coinciding with the advent and increased use of culture-independent diagnostic tests (CIDTs). This increase was most pronounced for enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC). During 2009-2015, six EPEC outbreaks occurred compared with 105 during 2016-2023. This trend underscores the substantial effect of CIDTs on our understanding of enteric disease epidemiology, the importance of continued non-STEC outbreak surveillance and the need for case-based surveillance to inform efforts to prevent these domestically acquired infections.","PeriodicalId":38649,"journal":{"name":"Food Protection Trends","volume":"46 5","pages":"557-577"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13519581/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148841528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ultimately, the outbreak was linked to the consumption of undercooked and raw morel mushrooms, highlighting the importance of proper cooking to reduce toxin levels and mitigate the risk of illness. Concerns regarding potential harmful effects of consuming raw morels suggest the need for increased awareness and caution among consumers and restaurants. Relevant food safety recommendations since the outbreak occurred have become publicly available, including messaging to avoid the consumption of raw morels and thorough cooking of these mushrooms. The investigation revealed industry knowledge gaps in the safe preparation of morel mushrooms, shedding light on the impact of inadequate food safety measures.

Food irradiation is a safe and effective way to kill bacteria and extend a product's shelf-life. However, challenges to wider implementation of this technology include consumer hesitancy stemming from misconceptions about safety and lack of knowledge of irradiation's benefits. Research has shown that consumers are more willing to accept irradiation if informed about its safety. Due to increases in multistate foodborne outbreaks and consumers' growing concern and expectation of food safety, it is an opportune time to reconsider irradiation as a food safety tool. Consumer attitudes toward food safety differ by demographic characteristics; however, research on the association of demographic factors with attitudes on food irradiation are limited. Data collected from a survey (N=1,009) conducted in August 2022 were analyzed to describe the relationship between age and food irradiation knowledge as influential factors to purchase irradiated foods. More than half (56%) of respondents reported that learning more about irradiation would likely influence purchasing decisions; older adults were more knowledgeable about food irradiation. These findings suggest that age could be an important factor to consider when tailoring messaging as a prevention strategy around the benefits of food irradiation.","PeriodicalId":38649,"journal":{"name":"Food Protection Trends","volume":"44 3","pages":"189-194"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11157695/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141297816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were stratified into three groups using quota sampling: adults aged 18-64 years, parents of children aged 0-4 years, and adults aged 65 years and older. Consistent with past research, consumers were unaware of what food irradiation is. Facilitators for purchasing irradiated foods included protection from foodborne illness, reduced risk from certain foods, and support from public health agencies.

Data for Canadian households with children (n = 294) were extracted from a larger telephone survey conducted across all Canadian provinces and territories between 2014 and 2015. Four food safety practice outcomes and six demographic variables were examined using multivariable logistics regression. Most survey participants were females (56%) who had less than a bachelor’s degree (67%) and were caring for one child (55%). Approximately 90% of caregivers reported proper hand hygiene, and 79% refrigerated leftovers within 2 h of cooking. Only 33% of caregivers reported preventing cross-contamination, and fewer reported using food thermometers for poultry cuts (13%) and hamburgers (11%). Those in the higher income and education categories were less likely to follow safe food handling practices such as hand hygiene and safe refrigeration of leftovers.

Understanding context is necessary for successful implementation of RMP, highlighting the importance of characterizing physical attributes (PA) associated with RMP. We determined the PA associated with implementation of eight RMP on 20 small (≤ 2 acres; 8,094 m2) strawberry farms in the southeastern United States. Descriptive statistics were performed to determine frequency of PA across farms. PA scores, presence or absence of observed PA expressed as a percentage, were calculated for each of the eight RMP. All 20 (100%) farms used plasticulture to grow strawberries. All (100%) used drip irrigation systems, and 19 (95%) had an adequate number of bathrooms and handwashing stations. Nearly all (95%) did not have a body fluid spill kit. Sixteen (80%) farms used groundwater or surface water for irrigation, with five (31%) treating the water and eight (50%) testing the microbiological quality of irrigation water. PA scores ranged from 55 to 90%, with the highest (90%) for animal control and the lowest (55%) for food safety signage.
