Analysis of Produce Related Foodborne Illness Outbreaks
To help guide farmers in their efforts to reduce foodborne illness, the Alliance for Food and Farming has conducted an analysis of Centers for Disease Control data regarding foodborne illness outbreaks from the period of 1990 through 2007. The report shows that 12.3 percent of all foodborne illness outbreaks were associated with produce. Just over 10 percent were associated with improper handling after leaving the farm and 2.2 percent were associated with growing, packing, shipping or processing of produce. The majority of the foodborne illness outbreaks, 88 percent are from non-produce food items.
