Foodborne Illness
Foodborne illnesses continue to take a
staggering toll on public health. The United States Food and
Drug Administration estimates that every year, 81 million
people experience a foodborne illness that results in an
estimated 9,000 preventable deaths. It is still the No. 1
reason for visits to our nation’s emergency rooms.
"Safe
steps in food handling, cooking, and storage are essential
to prevent foodborne illness. You can't see, smell, or
taste harmful bacteria that may cause illness."
