Abstract
Foodborne illness is a worldwide problem. In the United States alone, at least 6.5 million cases of acute foodborne illness occur every year.1 In the past decade, new problems with food safety have been recognized, reflecting changes in the way food is produced, distributed, prepared, and consumed. Increasingly, epidemiologists are detecting outbreaks that cross regional and international boundaries, mirroring the widespread distribution of both raw agricultural commodities and processed foods.2-5Keywords
