• Description:
  Documenting trends in foodborne illness—which illnesses are decreasing and which are increasing—is essential to the overall goal of reducing foodborne illness. According to FoodNet, America’s report card for food safety that tracks trends, some foodborne illnesses have dropped significantly, but infections caused by one of the most common germs—Salmonella—have not declined.
  
  FoodNet has been tracking trends in the most common infections transmitted through food since 1996. Each year, FoodNet reports on the changes in the number of people in the United States sickened with foodborne infections that have been confirmed by laboratory tests. This annual report card also lets CDC, its partners, and policy makers know how much progress has made in reaching national goals for reducing foodborne illness.
