| When food growers, manufacturers, or consumers don’t pay adequate attention to the safety of the food supply the result can be foodborne illness resulting from the presence of foodborne pathogens. There are an estimated 76 million cases of foodborne illness every year in the United States. The majority of these cases resolve in a matter of days, though roughly 300,000 cases require hospitalization, and 5,000 people die. |
