Foodborne illness is a disease that is carried or transmitted to humans by eating food that has been contaminated with an unwanted microorganism. Bacteria, parasites and viruses are microorganisms that can cause foodborne illness or "food poisoning". Microbes and pathogens also describe the microorganisms that cause foodborne illness.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration estimates 7 million cases of food-borne illness a year resulting in seven thousand deaths. Many cases of foodborne illness go unreported because their symptoms often resemble the stomach flu. The most common symptoms of foodborne illness include stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fever.

The more you know about food borne illness the more you can protect yourself.
