In a teleconference, CDC said FoodNet annual monitoring of new pathogens surveillance is showed a twenty to one hundred annual decrease of laboratory confirmed disease.
"The new data, coupled with FoodNet data trends confirm that we have known: that our food is get safer every day," said AMI Foundation President James h. Hodges, who oversees research program of the Foundation food security. ""
"New data tell us that our food security strategies have worked and we need to support our research efforts." "Even a food poisoning linked to meat and poultry products are cause for concern and we are not satisfied until our food supply is safe," commented Hodges.
According to the new CDC numbers, 9.4 million and disease, hospitalization 55,961 1 351 deaths per year are caused by known foodborne pathogens.

CDC sets unspecified agents as "a group of less including agents" that can be the cause of food-borne illnesses including mushrooms and marine biotoxins and little-known pathogenic bacteria such as Aeoromonas Edwarsiella, Plesiomonas. Unspecified agents cause 80 percent of all diseases and 56 percent of all hospital admissions and death.
CDC said in a press release that the documents provide the most accurate estimate so far on foodborne pathogens are causing disease, as well as estimating the proportion of without a known cause foodborne illness.
