How this is put together

From FDA's table of outbreak investigations (CORE): the cells as FDA wrote them in each copy of the table we hold (310 copies since Nov. 18, 2020: the Internet Archive's, and from Oct. 22, 2026 our daily copy). A change is dated between the copy before it and the first copy that shows it; FDA may have made it on any day between. The company announcements are the ones FDA's own advisory for this investigation links to; nothing is matched by us. Only the copies where a cell changed are in the table. All investigations: outbreak investigations.
