Consumer Group: States Reporting and Solving Fewer Foodborne Outbreaks
A new report from nonprofit consumer group the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has found that not only are states reporting and solving fewer foodborne illness outbreaks, but states vary widely in their outbreak reporting rates.
The report--All Over the Map: A 10-Year Review of State Outbreak Reporting--shows that between 2003 and 2012, the 50-state analysis uncovered that states reported and solved fewer foodborne illness outbreaks. CSPI’s findings are based on data reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
