USA – What is the Most Common Source of Food Poisoning in the United States of America?

Posted on August 17, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Food Poisoning News

According to salmonella lawyer Ron Simon, interviewed for this article, about one-in-six Americans will contract food poisoning this year alone. Simon notes that some of the victims will become sick for as little as a few days, while others will suffer catastrophic illness, including death. This is backed up by the CDC which admits that 48 million Americans get sick in an average year from food poisoning, and  about 128 thousand of those require hospitalization.  Of those, about 3000 die each year.  According to Simon, who represents one of those who died in the very recent Boar’s Head deli meat Listeria outbreak, food poisoning is a serious concern and one public health experts and food producers need to pay attention to.
