This page includes fact sheets
written with at-risk citizens in mind. Infants and young children, pregnant women, older adults,
and people with weakened immune systems caused by cancer treatment, diabetes, AIDS, and bone marrow and
organ transplants are at greatest risk for foodborne illness.
The list also includes a few fact sheets for specific groups of consumers (e.g., those
with limited English proficiency).
