Problems Relating to Food-borne Illnesses E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter and mold are the most prevalent pathogens. These build resistance to many products and methods currently used to control the pathogen problem. In addition, these products are often toxic and environmentally harmful.
Some basic facts: These illnesses affect approximately 77 million U.S. residents per year.
As a result, 320,000 Americans are hospitalized annually.
7,500 die from these illnesses each year.
One-third of food-borne illnesses are caused by improperly handled or prepared meat, poultry and produce.
