Section 4: SOURCES OF FOOD PREPARED AT HOME: Now I have a few questions about where the sources of food you (the patient) prepared and
ate at home in the 7 days before your illness began. First, I will ask you (the patient) about where any food prepared at home came from.
This could include grocery stores, warehouse stores, farmers’ markets, home delivery, delis, swap meets, ethnic or specialty markets,
butchers, live animal markets, food or meal subscription services, or groceries that were bought several weeks ago but consumed in the 7
days before you (the patient) got sick. I’m going to ask a few questions about stores you (the patient) may have shopped at, as well as any
shopper card numbers or other store membership information you (the patient) may have. This could also include a shopper number from
someone else in your household. Store shopper or membership information can help provide detailed information, such as brands,
varieties, purchase date, that you may not know or remember. You (the patient) may also be able to access your own shopper history
through an online account. Additionally, I’ll also ask a few questions about dietary practices and restrictions.
Optional prompt to further explain shopper card/purchase records: when you share your purchase histories with us, we can compare other
people’s purchase histories to see if the same food is reported or identified. Your (the patient’s) purchase history will only be shared on a
need‐to‐know basis with local, state, or federal staff during the investigation. This information could help solve the outbreak and prevent
additional illnesses. Remember to collect all store shopper or membership information used for the household. Store shopper or membership
information can be a shopper card or loyalty program number, phone number, or other identifier that an individual may use when making
purchases that would allow for a record of their purchases to be obtained.
