Do you know what to do – or how to report – if you or a family member comes down with a food illness or food poisoning? Or, if you suspect that food from a store or restaurant is contaminated?<\/p>\n

According to the CDC, each year roughly 1 in 6 people in the United States gets sick from eating contaminated food.
\nMost foodborne illness cases go unreported to health departments, and are therefore of unknown origin. So, the CDC estimates that 9.4 million of the illnesses are caused by 31 known foodborne pathogens, and that 90% of all illnesses due to known pathogens, are caused by seven pathogens: Salmonella<\/em>, norovirus, Campylobacter<\/em>, Toxoplasma<\/em>, E. coli<\/em> O157:H7, Listeria,<\/em> and Clostridium perfringens<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Reporting Food Illness Outbreaks<\/h3>\n

When two or more people get the same illness from the same contaminated food or drink, the event is called a foodborne illness outbreak. Reporting illnesses to your local health department helps them identify potential outbreaks of foodborne illness. Public health officials investigate outbreaks to control them, so more people do not get sick in the outbreak, and to learn how to prevent similar outbreaks from happening in the future.<\/p>\n
