1/ Foodborne illness is having a moment. It feels like every time I open my phone, there’s a new headline. And truthfully, increased rate of foodborne outbreaks is certainly not out of the realm of possibilities. So I looked at the numbers to determine if we're actually seeing more outbreaks.

2/ To preface, foodborne illness is incredibly common. The CDC estimates that roughly 1 in 6 Americans gets sick from contaminated food each year. Most people recover at home, but foodborne illness still leads to more than 130,000 hospitalizations annually.
