Food Safety – What Does It Have To Do With You?

The answer to the above question is plenty. Everyone knows that the United States has one of the safest food supplies in the world. So why do you have to be worried about food safety? The answer is simple. Foodborne illness happens and it adversely affects millions and millions of Americans each year. Foodborne illness which directly will affect your health comes from eating contaminated food.  Estimates of the the number
of cases of Foodborne illness are enormous. 

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), more than 200 known diseases are transmitted through food. The causes of foodborne illness include viruses, bacteria, parasites, toxins, metals, and prions, and the symptoms of foodborne illness range from mild gastroenteritis to life-threatening neurologic, hepatic, and renal syndromes. In the United States, foodborne diseases have been estimated to cause 6 million to 81 million illnesses and up to 9,000 deaths each year.
