The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 48 million people become
sick as a result of foodborne illness every year, producing around 128,000 hospitalizations
and resulting in 3,000 deaths.

Although researchers have identified more than 250 foodborne diseases and regularly
share information on foodborne germs and illness symptoms through a variety of channels,
new research verifies that many consumers may still practice poor food safety hygiene.
Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) work frequently with the populations at
the greatest risk for foodborne illness: pregnant women, young children, older adults,
and people with weakened immune systems from conditions such as diabetes.
