Foodborne disease is a pervasive problem caused by consumption of contaminated food and drink. More than 200 pathogens are associated with foodborne disease. An estimated 76 million cases occur annually (one in every four Americans), resulting in 300,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths. Fewer cases are documented because of underreporting.

The accident at the Fukushima NPS is due to loss of cooling reactors and ponds for spent nuclear fuel (Strishov, 2011). The earthquake destroyed the system of stationary power supplies of NPS.
