Right now
2 outbreaks in this log are still open. An outbreak being open does not mean a food is off limits, and an outbreak closing does not change the standing advice about that food. Those are two separate questions and this page keeps them separate.
If you need to check a specific package rather than read the headlines, the recall checker matches against codes and lot numbers, which is what actually decides whether a product is included.
The log
Iceberg lettuce and Cyclospora: still open
- What changed
- CDC still lists this investigation as open. Cyclospora is the one worth knowing about by name, because its pattern is unusual: symptoms can seem to go away and then come back one or more times.
- What it means if you are pregnant
- Feeling better is not necessarily the end with this organism, which is the opposite of what people assume. If you had symptoms that passed and then returned, that relapsing pattern is worth mentioning to your care team rather than treating as a new unrelated illness.
Sprouts, E. coli and Salmonella: still open
- What changed
- FDA still lists its sprouts investigation as ongoing, covering alfalfa sprouts sold in several states.
- What it means if you are pregnant
- This is the one where the standing pregnancy advice and the live recall point the same way. Raw sprouts were already on the avoid list before this outbreak, because bacteria can be inside the seed before sprouting begins and washing cannot reach them. Cooked thoroughly is the version the guidance points to, outbreak or no outbreak.
CDC closes the shell egg Salmonella outbreak
- What changed
- CDC marked the investigation Closed and states that the outbreak is over. The final count was 134 illnesses across 18 states, 34 hospitalizations and no deaths. The eggs were recalled by Midwest Poultry Services on 22 July 2026, more than 1.5 million dozen, and CDC notes the recalled cartons are now past their expiration dates.
- What it means if you are pregnant
- If you have been avoiding eggs because of this outbreak, it is over. The recalled cartons carried codes P-1950 or 0840962 with Julian dates 157 to 184, and those dates have long passed, so eggs bought now are not part of it. Nothing about the standing advice on cooking eggs changes: that is a separate question from any single recall.
CDC closes the soft cheese and requesón Listeria outbreak
- What changed
- CDC closed this investigation and says the outbreak is over. It had been linked to soft cheeses and requeson, and the closure means CDC is no longer tracking new illnesses against it.
- What it means if you are pregnant
- The specific outbreak has ended, but this one is worth separating carefully from the standing advice, because they are not the same thing. CDC and FDA advise higher-risk people, including during pregnancy, to avoid queso fresco-type cheeses when unheated whether or not they were made with pasteurised milk. That advice exists independently of any single outbreak and has not changed.
How this page is kept honest
Every outbreak status quoted here is checked against the authority that owns it, by a script rather than by memory. If CDC or FDA changes a status and this page still claims the old one, the check fails and the build flags it.
That matters because stale outbreak claims are worse than none. On 6 September this check caught that the shell egg investigation had closed three days earlier while the site still described it as ongoing. The entry below reflects the corrected status.
Nothing is added here for the sake of having something to publish. If a week passes with no real change at CDC or FDA, this page does not change either.
Know whether it applies to you
A recall only matters if it was in your kitchen. If you keep a note of what you ate and when, you can answer that in seconds instead of trying to reconstruct a week from memory.
