Mead and his colleagues at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offered up their latest estimate in a 19-page report. Published in the September-October issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases, it concludes that some 76 million U.S. residents develop foodborne illness each year. That incidence rate would indicate that on average more than one in four people eat sickening food each year. The data also indicate that an estimated 325,000 require hospitalization—and almost 5,200 die —because of foodborne illness."
