Challenges of Food Poisoning from Contamination

The Centers for Disease Control estimates that about 3,000 Americans die each year from food contamination. Food-borne pathogens sicken some 48 million people a year in the U.S. and result in 128,000 hospitalizations, according to the CDC. They also present a major challenge to certain groups of people. Although anyone can get a foodborne illness, some people are at greater risk. For example: 

• Children younger than age 4 have the highest incidence of laboratory-confirmed infections from some foodborne pathogens, including Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157, Shigella, and Yersinia.

• People older than age 50 and those with reduced immunity are at greater risk for hospitalizations and death from intestinal pathogens commonly transmitted through foods.

The safety of the entire food supply chain is critical to protecting us from ever increasing risks of contamination.
