While our food supply is among the safest in the world, each year an estimated 48 million Americans still contract foodborne disease and some -- mostly the very young, elderly, and the chronically ill -- die as a result. Foodborne disease is nearly 100% preventable if safe food handling practices are applied from the time food is purchased until the time it is served.
