Food Diagnostics – Advancing Food Safety through Rapid Testing Technologies
Introduction to Foodborne Illnesses
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year around 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases in the United States alone. Some of the common foodborne pathogens that cause illnesses include Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli, Norovirus, Clostridium perfringens, and Campylobacter. Foodborne illnesses not only cause immense human suffering but also lead to huge economic losses. Traditionally, detecting foodborne pathogens involved laboratory cultures that could take days to provide results. However, newer rapid food testing technologies are helping advance food safety.
