The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that approximately 48 million people in the United States experience a foodborne illness each year. Of these, about 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die. Many cases of foodborne illness can be prevented through proper food handling and preparation.
