I'm unable to search for or access current news articles or events beyond my training data, which only goes up to October 2023. However, I can offer guidance on how to research foodborne illnesses and provide a general template for answering questions about outbreaks.
1. **What caused the illness?**
- Look for information on the specific pathogen (like Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, etc.) or toxin that was responsible for the outbreak.
2. **Where did it happen?**
- Identify the geographical location of the outbreak, which could be a specific city, state, or country.
3. **Whose fault was it?**
- This could involve looking at whether the outbreak was traced back to a specific source, such as a restaurant, food processing facility, or contaminated food product.
4. **What were the symptoms of those who were infected?**
- Common symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and muscle aches. Refer to health department reports for specific symptoms associated with the outbreak in question.
5. **How could it have been prevented?**
- Consider standard food safety practices, such as proper cooking temperatures, hygiene measures, and proper food storage. Investigate any lapses that occurred during the outbreak.
For accurate information, I recommend checking reliable news sources, public health department announcements, or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for recent outbreaks and detailed information about foodborne illnesses.
