Food Contamination

From the Paper:

"Home may be where the heart is, but it is also where the bacteria are. An American's home is the most likely place where that person will suffer the effects of food contamination although restaurants generate more headlines and more concern for most people. This paper provides a brief overview of the food-borne illnesses that are present in the United States today and how each of these has come to be a threat to the American population.

There are between 20 million and 40 million reported cases of food poisoning annually in this country with the cost in medical bills, lost wages and product recalls as high as $10 billion, according to federal estimates caused by the microbial contamination of such foods as poultry, eggs, dairy and seafood (Puzo, 198, p. 8/2)."
