Authorities report that an E. coli outbreak linked to frozen blueberries has grown to 17 confirmed cases. Five additional cases are confirmed, raising the total from 12 to 17.
The reports describe the outbreak as being associated with frozen blueberries, but do not provide details in the available text about where cases are located, patient outcomes, or the specific traceback investigation timeline. The outlets also do not differ in the core figures cited, but they focus on the updated case count—emphasizing that the outbreak is expanding as new confirmations are added.
Both sources present the same update: the number of confirmed infections tied to the implicated food product increases following new laboratory results, indicating ongoing public health monitoring and follow-up.
