Description:The Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) is the principal foodborne-disease component of the CDC's Emerging Infections Program (EIP). FoodNet is a collaborative project among CDC, the eight EIP state health department sites, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FoodNet augments, but does not replace, longstanding activities at CDC, FSIS, FDA, and in states to identify, control, and prevent foodborne disease hazards. FoodNet is a sentinel network that is producing more stable and accurate national estimates of the burden and sources of specific foodborne diseases in the United States through active surveillance and additional studies. Enhanced surveillance and investigation are integral parts of developing and evaluating new prevention and control strategies that can improve the safety of our food and the public's health. Ongoing FoodNet surveillance is being used to document the effectiveness of new food safety control measures, such as the USDA Pathogen Reduction and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) Rule, in decreasing the number of cases of foodborne diseases in the United States each year.

Content Notes:FoodNet Annual Reports are summaries of information collected through active surveillance of nine pathogens. A preliminary version of this report becomes available in the spring of each year and forms the basis of each year's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) FoodNet Surveillance. The FoodNet Final Report becomes available later in the year when current census information becomes available.
