What are the Causes of Food Poisoning in Ohio?

The CDC estimates that 48 million people in the United States get sick from foodborne illnesses annually. Among those:

  • 128,000 are hospitalized
  • 3,000 people die from these illnesses

One in six Americans becomes ill from eating contaminated food each year. Many of these cases are preventable. Some common causes of food poisoning include:

  • Contamination During Processing: During processing, food goes through many stages, from cleaning and storage to packaging. Contamination can occur in various ways, including using contaminated water for irrigation or animals eating contaminated food.
  • Contamination During Distribution: This can happen while food is being transported from the processing plant to the consumer. Fluctuating temperatures or opened packaging can lead to contamination.
  • Contamination During Preparation: Food-serving establishments must store and prepare food correctly. This includes keeping food at the proper temperatures, washing it properly, and cleaning preparation surfaces.

Common Types of Food Poisoning in Ohio

There are various types of food poisoning, including:

  • E. coli
  • Listeria
  • Norovirus
  • Salmonella
  • Botulism
  • Hepatitis A
  • And more

In some cases, food poisoning affects many people at once, depending on when the food was contaminated. This often leads to large product recalls.
