FoodNet

Trends, Data Tables, and Figures

FoodNet, America's report card for food safety, captures data over a period of time and shows disease trends. Trends captured by FoodNet complement estimates of foodborne illness acquired in the United States, which are designed to give the most accurate count of illnesses at a specific point in time. Together, these data are used by CDC and partners to inform policy, research, and prevention measures.

Incidence Trends

Documenting trends in foodborne illness—which illnesses are decreasing and which are increasing—is essential to the overall goal of reducing foodborne illness.
