Foodborne Illness
While the American food supply is among the safest in the world, the Federal government estimates that there are about 48 million cases of foodborne illness annually—the equivalent of sickening 1 in 6 Americans each year. And each year these illnesses result in an estimated 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. If you feel you have been made sick by a restaurant or industrial kitchen, please contact the Health Department at (308) 385-5175.
