The food prepared for and served to the public can be a
vehicle for the transmission of a variety of communicable
diseases. For many, food borne illness results only in
discomfort or lost time from work. But for some, especially
preschool age children, older adults and those with impaired
immune systems, food borne illness is more serious and may
be life threatening. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) estimates that 76 million people experience
food borne illness and 5,000 deaths occur in the United
States each year.
Research by the CDC has consistently shown that most food borne illness outbreaks are caused by mishandling food and occur within the retail segment of the food industry (restaurants, markets, schools, churches, camps, institutions, and vending locations), where ready-to-eat food is prepared and provided to the public for consumption.
