• Description:
  In 2012, CDC scientsts monitored between 16 and 57 potental food poisoning clusters each week and investgated more than 200 multstate clusters natonwide. Two of CDC’s food safety programs partner with 15 jurisdictons to get ahead of stubborn foodborne outbreaks: FoodCORE and FoodNet.
  
  What is the difference between FoodCORE and FoodNet? FoodCORE is one of the newest and most promising programs at CDC. Seven FoodCORE centers, covering about 14% of the US populaton, work together to develop new and beter methods to detect, investgate, respond to, and control multstate outbreaks of foodborne diseases.
  
  FoodNet, established in 1996, is an actve populaton- based surveillance system that collects informaton in 10 states and covers 15% of the US populaton. It estmates the number of foodborne illnesses, monitors trends in incidence of specific foodborne illnesses over tme, atributes illnesses to specific foods and setngs, and disseminates this informaton. One of the states where these two programs overlap is in Connectcut.
