Date Locations Agent Affected foods Deaths Illnesses Description/Notes
1971 Westchester County, New York Clostridium botulinum Vichyssoise soup 1 1 On July 2, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a public warning after learning that a Westchester County, New York, man had died and his wife had become seriously ill from botulism after eating a portion of a can of Bon Vivant vichyssoise soup.[3][4] 6,444 vichyssoise soup cans were recalled, including all Bon Vivant soups – more than a million cans in all.[5] On July 7, the FDA ordered the shutdown of the company's Newark, New Jersey, plant. Out of 324 soup cans, five were found to be contaminated with botulinum toxin, all in the initial batch of vichyssoise that was recalled. The company filed for bankruptcy within a month of the start of the recall, and changed its business name to Moore & Co.[5] The FDA resolved to destroy the company's stock of canned soup, but the company fought the proposed action in court until 1974.[6]
1974 New Jersey Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium Apple cider 200[7] Traced to De Piero's Farm in Montvale, New Jersey.[8]
1977 Michigan Clostridium botulinum Green peppers 0 59[9] Traced to the Trini and Carmen's restaurant in Pontiac, Michigan. The contaminated peppers were improperly canned at home by a former employee and were used in the hot sauce served at the restaurant.[10][11] Was considered the largest botulism outbreak in the country at the time.[9]
1978 Clovis, New Mexico Clostridium botulinum Unknown; possibly potato salad or three-bean salad 2 32 Thirty-four people who ate at the Colonial Park Country Club restaurant developed clinical botulism in the second-largest outbreak in United States history. The outbreak was traced to either potato salad or a commercially prepared three-bean salad served to a group attending a banquet. Despite a thorough search of the local landfill, the discarded three-bean salad containers were never located, making it impossible to test them to confirm the source of contamination. All patients were hospitalized and 33 received trivalent botulinal antitoxin.[12][13][14][15]

1980s

Date Locations Agent Affected foods Deaths Illnesses Description/Notes
1984 The Dalles, Oregon Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium Salad bar items 0 751 1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack: Prominent followers of Rajneeshpuram leader Rajneesh intentionally contaminated salad bars at ten local restaurants in The Dalles in hopes of influencing the 1984 Wasco County election to get their candidates elected. This was the first bioterrorist attack in the United States and remains the largest in the country's history.[16]
1985 California Listeria monocytogenes Mexican style soft cheese 52[note 1][17][18] Traced to Jalisco Mexican Products and Alta-Dena Certified Dairy. Alta-Dena supplied the raw milk to Jalisco to make the cheese.[19] Jalisco had a non-licensed technician perform the pasteurization,[19] though pasteurized milk might have been diluted with non-pasteurized milk by the technician.[20] On July 15, 1989, Alta-Dena was absolved of any blame, and Jalisco would later shut down the same month.[21][22] At the time, this was the deadliest foodborne illness outbreak in the United States, measured by the number of deaths, since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had begun tracking outbreaks in the 1970s.[17]
1985 Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium Milk 2–7[23][24] 16,284[24] Traced to Hillfarm Dairy in Melrose Park, Illinois. It was the worst outbreak of salmonellosis in United States history at the time.[24]

Nevada

Escherichia coli O157:H7 Hamburger 4 732[26] 1992–1993 Jack in the Box E. coli outbreak: Traced to undercooked hamburger patties made for the Monster Burger, which was in high demand. The outrage resulting from the deaths, all of which were of children, placed strong political pressure on Washington and resulted in new regulations from the USDA requiring a mandatory HACCP inspection system and microbial testing in meat processing plants.[27]
1994 El Paso, Texas Clostridium botulinum Potato dip 0 30 Traced to a Greek restaurant who made the dips with foil-wrapped baked potatoes that were improperly stored. Four of the 30 patients required mechanical ventilation.[28]
1994 Multiple states Salmonella Ice cream 224,000 estimated[29] Traced to Schwan's Sales Enterprises in Marshall, Minnesota. The contamination occurred when raw, unpasteurized eggs were hauled in a tanker truck that later carried pasteurized ice cream to the Schwan's plant. The ice cream premix was not re-pasteurized after delivery to the plant.[30][31]
May–June 1996 20 states, Washington, D.C. Cyclospora cayetanensis Raspberries 0 1465 Raspberries imported from Guatemala were implicated in the outbreak, though how the fruit was contaminated remains unknown.

March 1997 Arizona, California, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Tennessee Hepatovirus A Frozen strawberries 260+[38] Traced to Andrew & Williamson Sales Co. of San Diego, California. The strawberries were grown in Baja California, Mexico before being processed and fraudulently sold to the United States Department of Agriculture Food Program by A&W. Thousands of students were possibly exposed to the virus from eating strawberries in school lunches. Over 2.6 million pounds of strawberries were recalled.[39] Frederick L. Williamson, the president of the company, would be sentenced to five months in prison and an equal amount of time in home detention and the company would be ordered to pay a $200,000 fine on top of $150,000 in restitution for falsifying the origins of the strawberries.[38]
1998 Multiple states Listeria monocytogenes Hot dogs, cold cuts 15–21 80 Traced to the Sara Lee Corporation and its division Bil Mar Foods.[40] Considered the third deadliest outbreak of foodborne illness in the United States since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention started tracking in the 1970s, with 15 to 21 reported deaths and four to six miscarriages or stillbirths.[41][42][43]
1999 Multiple states Salmonella enterica serotype Muenchen Unpasteurized orange juice 1 400+[44][45] Traced to Sun Orchard in Tempe, Arizona.

2000
New Jersey Salmonella Mung bean sprouts 0 67 Traced to Pacific Coast Sprout Farms.[52] The seeds, imported from China and Australia, were not only contaminated, but were cleansed with only a tenth of the recommended amount of cleansing agent. Despite finding evidence of Salmonella contamination, the sprouts were not recalled until the outbreak spread.[53]
Milwaukee, Wisconsin Escherichia coli O157:H7 Ground beef 1 65 The source of the outbreak was two Sizzler restaurants that apparently allowed raw meat to come into contact with other food items. The contaminated meat was traced to the Excel Corporation meat packing plant in Colorado.[54][55]
Oregon Escherichia coli O157:H7 Unknown, beef suspected ≥19[note 2] The cases were linked to a Wendy's restaurant, and although beef was the suspected vector of transmission, such a link was not conclusively shown.[56]
2002
California, Colorado, Michigan, South Dakota, Washington, Wyoming Escherichia coli O157:H7 Ground beef 19 Traced to a ConAgra plant in Greeley, Colorado. The company recalled over 19 million pounds of ground beef it had manufactured, in the third largest recall in history.[57]

South Plainfield, New Jersey, Long Island, New York, Pennsylvania Escherichia coli O157:H7 Lettuce 0 71 2006 North American E. coli O157:H7 outbreaks: Traced to some Taco Bell locations.[65] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention first believed the bacteria to be in the green onions. However, the FDA later said it could not confirm that scallions were the cause of the problem and that it was not ruling out any food as a possible culprit. It was later suspected that infected lettuce was the cause.[66]
September 14–October 6 Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin[67] Escherichia coli O157:H7 Organic spinach 3 199 2006 North American E. coli O157:H7 outbreak in spinach: The probable source of the outbreak was concluded to be Paicines Ranch, an Angus cattle ranch that leased land to Mission Organics, the company that grew the contaminated spinach.[68][69] Natural Selection Foods LLC, in San Juan Bautista and River Ranch Fresh Foods would recall spinach and spinach-related products due to the outbreak.[70][71] A woman in Ontario, Canada was among the reported infections.[72]

Salmonella enterica serotype Saintpaul Serrano and jalapeño peppers, tomato 1[note 3] 1,442[90] 2008 United States salmonellosis outbreak: The rare Saintpaul serotype of Salmonella enterica caused over a thousand cases of salmonellosis in 43 states throughout the United States and Canada. The Food and Drug Administration initially suspected that the contaminated food product was a common ingredient in fresh salsa, such as raw tomato, fresh jalapeño pepper, fresh serrano pepper, or fresh cilantro, eventually tracking a salmonella positive test to serrano peppers and irrigation water at a packing facility in Nuevo León, Mexico, and a grower in Tamaulipas.[91] At the time, it was the largest reported salmonellosis outbreak in the United States since 1985.
2009
Multiple states Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium Peanut butter, peanut products 9 714[note 4][92] 2009 Peanut Corporation of America recall: A salmonellosis outbreak originating from peanut butter produced by Peanut Corporation of America in Blakely, Georgia resulted in one of the most extensive foodborne illness outbreaks in history.[93] Criminal negligence was alleged after product tested positive then re-tested "negative" by a second testing agency, and shipped on several occasions.[94] The product was in turn used by dozens of other manufacturers in hundreds of other products which were promptly recalled. Peanut Corporation of America closed and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy due to the recalls, and its CEO, Stuart Parnell, was sentenced to 28 years in prison for his role in the outbreak.[95][96]
March–July Multiple states Escherichia coli O157:H7 Refrigerated cookie dough 0 77 Nestlé recalled 3.6 million packages of its Toll House cookie dough after the FDA reported there was a possibility that the outbreak might be a result of raw cookie dough consumption.[97] The products, which were originally believed to have been tainted, came from a Danville, Virginia, plant, though no E. coli O157:H7 has been found in the plant, according to the FDA.[citation needed] Contaminated flour was later named as the prime suspect for the outbreak. Of the 77 cases, 55 required hospitalization, and at least 10 cases of hemolytic–uremic syndrome were reported.[98][99][100]
Arizona, New Mexico Salmonella enterica serotype Newport Ground beef 2 Traced to Beef Packers, Inc. in Fresno, California, a subsidiary of Cargill. 22,723 pounds of beef were subsequently recalled.[101][102]

June Arizona, California, Colorado, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington Salmonella enterica serotype Panama Cantaloupe 0 20 In June 2011, twenty people fell ill from eating cantaloupe contaminated with Salmonella from Guatemala. An investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would implicate Del Monte Fresh Produce-brand cantaloupes purchased from Costco in the outbreak. Using purchase records, the CDC would trace the source of the contaminated fruits to a farm in Guatemala, where a pipe carrying raw sewage emptied into an open ditch, located about 110 yards from the farm's packing house, that fed into a lagoon that also contained sewage.[116][117] The Food and Drug Administration would enact a ban on the import of Guatemalan cantaloupe due to the outbreak, resulting in Del Monte filing a lawsuit to block the restrictions.[116][117]
July–October Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming Listeria monocytogenes Cantaloupe 33[118] 147 2011 United States listeriosis outbreak: An outbreak of listeriosis in 28 states was traced to Jensen Farms in Holly, Colorado.[119][120] After Listeria was confirmed at the company's main Colorado branch, the entire harvest of 300,000 cantaloupe were recalled, and Jensen Farms was made to temporarily shut down its processing plant.[121][122] This was the second-deadliest recorded outbreak in the country since the CDC began tracking outbreaks in the 1970s.[123][124]
July Oregon Escherichia coli O157:H7 Strawberries 1 15 Traced to Jaquith Strawberry Farm in Newberg, Oregon. The strawberries were sold to buyers who resold them at roadside stands and farmer's markets.[125][126] The source of the contamination was later traced to droppings left by deer roaming through the farm's fields.[127][128]
September Ohio Escherichia coli O157:H7 Ground beef products 0 4 After four children in an Ohio family fell ill after consuming ground beef, with one requiring hospitalization, Tyson Fresh Meats, a subsidiary of Tyson Foods, recalled 131,300 pounds of ground beef products due to potential E. coli O157:H7 contamination.[129][130]

October–November California, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Washington[158] Escherichia coli O26 Unknown 0 60 Traced to Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurant locations. The outbreak warranted the closing and sanitization of over 40 Chipotle restaurants across Washington and Oregon. The restaurants reopened after discarding all supplies and ordering fresh ingredients.[159] A second, smaller outbreak occurred in three states that lead to five cases and one hospitalization.[160]
2017

An FDA inspection of the company's facility revealed decrepit, unsanitary conditions and procedures such as apparent soy butter buildup coating the ceilings, floors and walls of the packaging and processing rooms in addition to standing water and filth in the latter room, a lack of hot water or hand soap at the processing rooms' handwashing sink, processing equipment and associated piping that had not been cleaned since 2015, and an infestation of flies in the quality control and product development laboratory.[163] In response to the findings, the FDA suspended the company's food facility registration on March 28, this preventing any food from entering or leaving the facility until the suspension was lifted.[164][165] The SoyNut Butter Company, the company that contracted Dixie Dew to manufacture its products, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on May 27 of the same year, with I.M. Healthy and Dixie Dew also filing for bankruptcy.[166][167]
April California Clostridium botulinum Jalapeño cheese sauce 1 10 Traced to a jalapeño cheese sauce dispenser inside Valley Oak Food and Fuel in Walnut Grove, California, though no recall was issued for the product.[168] It was later determined by the California Department of Public Health that the contamination originated from improper use and handling of the cheese sauce and its dispenser at the location, with violations including not maintaining records of when cheese sauce bags were added to the warming unit, an expired bag of nacho cheese that was being used past its expiration date, and employees not using the provided tool to open the plastic bags on the dispenser and warming unit.[169]
2018
April Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin[170] Escherichia coli O157:H7 Romaine lettuce 5 210 An outbreak of Escherichia coli infections linked to Romaine lettuce from Yuma, Arizona prompted a multi-state investigation from the CDC and FDA alongside warnings to avoid eating or buying romaine lettuce until it was confirmed that the outbreak did not originate from the Yuma, Arizona growing region.[171][172] This warning was eventually lifted on May 22.[173] The source of the outbreak was eventually traced to contaminated water in a canal in Yuma, Arizona, though how the bacteria were introduced remains unknown.[174] A 2022 study estimated that the total societal loss from the romaine lettuce recall was in the range of $276–$343 million.[175]
October 7, December 4–January 9, 2019 California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin[176] Escherichia coli O157:H7 Romaine lettuce 0 62 Cases reported in the United States and Canada.[177] The outbreak was traced to a water reservoir on the property of an Adam Bros.
