The Canters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the US estimates that around 48m Americans fall ill every year from a foodborne illness, with 128,000 hospitalisations and 3,000 deaths. The CDC ranks Norovirus as the main culprit when it comes to illness, closely followed by Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens and Campylobacter according to a new Hiscox global insight blog.
