Keep the Children You Care For Safe from Foodborne Illness
1 in 6 people in the United States each year get sick from foodborne illness. To give some perspective on these numbers, 48 million cases of foodborne illness, resulting in 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths, occur per year. Infants, toddlers, and young children are among those most at risk and account for half of all cases, according to the CDC.
