According to the CDC, foodborne illness affects 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million) annually. Of those, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die each year. Though illness can occur from the contamination of food through foreign objects and chemically hazardous substances such as allergens, the most common cause is the presence of foodborne pathogens, such as bacteria, mold, parasites, and viruses.

While pathogens may be naturally present in some foods, they can also be introduced or spread throughout any stage of the food chain. When it comes to manufacturing, this often occurs as a result of food being exposed to contaminated surfaces, air, or people, which is why proper cleaning and sanitization is vital in keeping customers safe.
