Chicken, eggs, and produce are most likely to carry bacteria responsible for the vast majority of foodborne illness in the United States.
The bacteria most likely to make you sick year after year: Campylobacter and Salmonella. Less common pathogens also include Shigella, Cyclospora, and Listeria.
Foodborne illness is still a major health problem in the United States, according to a report released last week from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The agency identified more than 25,000 foodborne infections through various surveillance sites in 2018. Nearly 6,000 of those cases resulted in hospitalizations, and 120 people died as a result of foodborne illness.
The report is part of annual surveillance by the CDC that tracks the pathogens responsible for foodborne illness.
