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.
Viral infections make up perhaps one third of cases of food poisoning in developed countries. In the US, more than 50% of cases are viral and noroviruses are the most common foodborne illness, causing 57% of outbreaks in 2004.oodborne disease can also be caused by a large variety of toxins that affect the environment. Foodborne illness can also be caused by pesticides or medicines in food and naturally toxic substances such as poisonous mushrooms or reef fish.
