Via the real distribution-state record on each recall -- distinct from the free-text match used for the recall cards above.
No disease surveillance trend data has been published for this state.
Disease surveillance trends are only shown where CDC's reporting areas have been matched to this state. A state showing no surveillance data here may still have real recalls and outbreaks above - the gap is in state-level linkage for weekly case reports specifically, not an indication that nothing was reported.
Freshness unavailable for one or more included sources
This page combines recall records from the FDA and USDA with outbreak investigations and disease surveillance data from the CDC. It is not a safety ranking or comparison between states -- a higher count here can reflect more thorough reporting as much as more actual events, and is not a statement that Illinois is more or less safe than any other state. Read the full medical disclaimer.
