Food PoisoningFood Poisoning is a serious, life-threatening problem, which has become an epidemic in the United States. Food poisoning can affect one person or it can occur as an outbreak in a group of people who all ate the same contaminated food.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that there are 76 million cases of food poisoning in the United States each year. Of these cases, approximately 300,000 people will be hospitalized and 5,000 people will die.
Food poisoning deaths are not biased towards age, race, gender or status. Negligence in the handling or preparation of food will rob our children of their future and stop the elderly in their prime.
Infants and elderly people have the greatest risk for food poisoning. You are also at higher risk if you have a serious medical condition, like kidney disease or diabetes, a weakened immune system, or you travel outside of the U.S. to areas where there is more exposure to organisms that cause food poisoning. Pregnant and breastfeeding women have to be especially careful.
