It’s not uncommon to read the news and hear stories about a salmonella or E. coli outbreak. Large outbreaks related to a specific food, processing facility, or restaurant can be the subject of much news. However, most cases of foodborne illness are not related to the outbreak. As a result, there are millions of cases of foodborne illness each year that can affect just a few people. By implementing food safety practices, consumers and food industry workers can minimize risk.
