Description:Public health and regulatory officials gather 3 types of data during an investigation:
• epidemiologic
• traceback
• food & environmental testing
Health officials evaluate all of these types of data to try to identify the source of the outbreak.
Actions to protect the public are taken when there is clear and convincing information linking illness to a contaminated food.
Health officials do not solve every outbreak.
Sometimes outbreaks end before enough information is gathered to identify the likely source. Officials are constantly developing new ways to investigate and solve outbreaks faster.
