The CDC Estimates That Each Year 1 in 6 People Get a Foodborne Illness

Every Year:
• 48,000,000 Americans get sick
• 128,000 are hospitalized
• 3,000 DIE

ALSO, most cases of foodborne illness are never officially reported — for every one case of E. coli that goes into the books, several more remain undocumented.
