Precision Food Safety  

Foodborne illness is very common, and can be caused by different types of pathogens including viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. CDC estimates that, every year in the U.S. alone, 48 million people (1 out of 6) get sick from a foodborne illness, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die due to the contamination of foodborne pathogens in our food supply. USDA estimates that foodborne illnesses cost over $15.6 billion in economy loss annually in the U.S. To protect the integrity, quality and safety of our food supply is the highest priority to ensure the healthy life and well-being of our people and families.
