The impact of foodborne diseases on health in the United States is considerable. Statistics show that foodborne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year. CSREES seeks to reduce the incidence of foodborne illness and provide a safer food supply by supporting research, education, and extension activities addressing current priority issues and multiple disciplines in food safety. Some examples include food safety basic and applied research, antimicrobial resistance, consumer and professional food safety education, food processing technology, and food biosecurity.
