It seems like reports of foodborne illness are becoming more common these days. In 2014 we saw several major multistate outbreaks, including salmonella from bean sprouts, nut butters, chicken, and cheese; listeria from caramel apples, cheese, and other dairy products; and E. coli from ground beef.
THE PROBLEM. Foodborne viruses are a common and, probably, the most under-recognised cause of outbreaks of gastroenteritis. Human infection can occur following consumption of contaminated food, person-to-person body contact, or release of aerosols.epatitis A virus is not the only cause of foodborne hepatitis, which can also be caused by Hepatitis E virus. The clinical features of infection are similar to Hepatitis A, although the incubation period for infection is often longer (mean 40 days, range 15 - 60 days) and the disease is more severe.
