The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released the CORE 2022 Annual Report—the first report of its kind—summarizing the investigations of foodborne illness outbreaks and adverse events involving FDA-regulated foods conducted by the Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation (CORE) Network.
Founded in 2011, the mission of CORE is to find, stop, and aid in the prevention of foodborne illness outbreaks, in collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local partners. The CORE Network provides a publicly available investigation table that is updated weekly and provides information about ongoing foodborne illness outbreak and adverse event investigations. CORE does not cover seafood-related illnesses or incidents related to animal feed or pet food, which are handled by different FDA departments.
