Oregon Tops U.S. States for Food Poisoning Risk, New Outbreak Data Show

Oregon is identified as America’s food poisoning capital, reporting about 67,000 foodborne incidents over the last 50 years—roughly one illness per 63 residents. Delaware and Pennsylvania follow, then Colorado and Nevada, while Alaska ranks as the safest with about one illness per 3,234 people. The rankings come from casino.ca using CDC’s National Outbreak Reporting System data and traveler surveys. With peak summer travel and about 61.4 million Americans expected to travel by car, the overall risk of getting sick from spoiled food is about 1 in 319. CDC tips include washing hands, avoiding lukewarm foods, keeping perishables cold, and cooking meat to safe temperatures.

Thomas Massie’s bid for re-election in Kentucky’s 4th District becomes a national test of Donald Trump’s influence within the GOP, pitting Massie’s principled libertarian-conservative stance against Trump’s endorsement-driven candidate Ed Gallrein. With polls showing a closer race than expected, the primary may reveal whether pro-Trump loyalty can override Massie’s record of bucking party leadership and signal how the party will navigate loyalty versus conservatism going into the midterms.
