Welcome to the Foodborne Outbreak Online Database (FOOD) tool. The FOOD tool is a web-based platform for searching CDC's Foodborne Disease Outbreak Surveillance System database. FOOD provides access to national information and is intended to be used for limited descriptive summaries of outbreak data. Please see the
FOOD FAQ
and
CDC's Foodborne Disease Outbreak Surveillance web site for more information.
Disclaimer: This site was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to make Foodborne Disease Outbreak Surveillance System data more available to the public and stakeholders. Data obtained from this tool are an extract of reported data and therefore should not be considered completely representative of the findings in investigations of all outbreaks reported. CDC uses more detailed information for its analyses of the causes and risk factors of foodborne disease outbreaks.

*Data available via the FOOD originate from a dynamic outbreak surveillance
database. Reporting agencies (state, local, territorial, and tribal health departments,
and CDC) can modify their reports at any time, even months or years after an outbreak.
Therefore, results from Foodborne Outbreak Online Database are subject to change.
The searchable Foodborne Outbreak Online Database database was last updated on
7/9/2012; this date is recorded
in the "LastTransferDate" field in the downloaded file.
|
**The FOOD tool includes both single-state and multi-state outbreaks. Single-state
outbreaks are listed by state name in the "State" column of the results. Multi-state
outbreaks are listed as "Multistate outbreak reported by CDC" in the "State" column
of the results. A multi-state outbreak is defined as one in which exposures occurred
in more than one state; an outbreak affecting residents of more than one state due
to exposures in a single state is considered to be a single-state outbreak. A search
for outbreaks for a specific state will return all single-state outbreaks reported
by that state and all multi-state outbreaks involving that state. CDC staff are
currently validating and correcting past multi-state outbreak reports. Therefore,
the state assignment of outbreaks is subject to change.

***Downloaded files from FOOD tool are provided in XML format to allow use
with multiple software programs. XML files can be viewed directly in Access1
or Excel2, and can be read by analytical software
such as SAS3, SPSS4,
and STATA5. Consult the software provider's
customer support materials for directions on importing XML files into these or other
software programs.
