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.
