The Food and Drug Administration has added a new food safety investigation to the agency’s CORE Outbreak Investigation Table.

The investigations, available for viewing at the FDA website, are in a variety of stages, meaning that some outbreaks have limited information, and others may be near completion.

The new investigation, added Dec. 15, relates to Listeria monocytogenes in a food that has not yet been identified. Sixteen illnesses have been associated with the outbreak so far, the FDA said.
