Food Safety: Status of Foodborne Illness in the U.S.

Excerpt:  “Millions of Americans get sick from foodborne illness every year. While many cases are mild, some cases can result in hospitalization, long-lasting complications, or even death. In this Q&A, we reported that the safety and quality of the U.S. food supply is governed by at least 30 federal laws, collectively administered by 15 federal agencies. Federal agencies have developed some agency-specific and joint goals related to reducing foodborne illness, but most of these goals have not been met. A national food safety strategy could help ensure agencies are working together in an effective and efficient manner to reduce foodborne illness.”
