#Drumpf era #CDC has stopped monitoring for several factors it once tracked for foodborne illness outbreaks. As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is ordered to only monitori for two pathogens instead of the previous eight.

Currently only two #pathogens: #salmonella and #Shiga toxin-producing E. coli are being tracked federally, now ignored are #campylobacter, #cyclospora, #listeria, #shigella, #vibrio and #Yersinia.
