The CDC warns that the actual number of cases may be higher due to untested milder cases. Most affected individuals reported consuming deli meats, particularly turkey and liverwurst. The outbreak has been ongoing since late May, with no specific meat identified as the source yet. Vulnerable populations are advised to avoid deli meats unless properly heated.
