What is the CDC's Early warning system for outbreaks of foodborne disease known as?

The PulseNet System is the correct answer as it is the CDC's national network of public health laboratories that detects and responds to foodborne disease outbreaks. By utilizing DNA fingerprinting of bacteria, PulseNet can quickly identify outbreaks and link cases, which is essential for controlling and preventing further spread. This system allows health departments to work collaboratively by sharing data and understanding the connections between different foodborne illnesses across states.

In contrast, FoodNet is focused on monitoring the incidence of foodborne illnesses rather than acting as an outbreak detection system. HealthyScan does not exist under the CDC's umbrella and is not recognized as an official system for tracking foodborne diseases. Similarly, DiseaseTracker is not a term officially associated with CDC's foodborne disease surveillance and might refer to general tracking mechanisms that do not specialize in foodborne outbreak detection.
