120 Multistate Outbreaks: Tip of Iceberg in Food-borne Infection
Every state has been affected, and multistate outbreaks led to 7,929 illnesses from 2010-14, though outbreaks overall sickened more than 71,000 people in that time.We cannot assume any food is safe to eat.
Almost all of it is.
8,000 / 300,000,000 = 0.00002667
71,000 / 300,000,000 = 0.00023667
Most of the time I will take those odds.

Avery Bradley and Isaiah Thomas led the way for visiting Boston, which has now won seven of its past 10 games.
"Avery Bradley scored 23 points, Isaiah Thomas added 21 points and 13 assists, and the visiting Boston Celtics halted the Charlotte Hornets’ four-game winning streak with a 98-93 victory on Saturday night.
Jae
Crowder added 16 points and 7 rebounds for the Celtics (14-10), who
have won seven of their past 10 games. Boston bounced back after a
double-overtime loss on Friday night to Stephen Curry and the unbeaten
Golden State Warriors.
The
Hornets had a chance to tie the game late, but Nicolas Batum’s 30-foot
jumper off a side inbounds play with 6.6 seconds remaining missed
everything. Evan Turner put away the game with a layup."

Finally Winning on Road, Redskins Remain in First
Chicago’s Robbie Gould missed a late 50-yard field-goal attempt, helping Washington break a nine-game road losing streak dating to last season.
" Tom Brady threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns, and the New England Patriots ended a two-game skid and clinched a playoff spot with a 27-6 win over the Texans in Houston on Sunday night.
Brady threw scoring passes to Keshawn Martin and Rob Gronkowski in the first half to help New England build a 17-6 lead.
The
Patriots did not move the ball as well in the second half, but the
defense harassed Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer into multiple mistakes.
Jabaal Sheard had strip sacks on Hoyer twice after halftime. The
Patriots recovered the second one early in the fourth, and James White
made it 27-6 with a 2-yard run three plays later.
Hoyer
was sacked five times and left the game to be evaluated for a
concussion with about nine minutes remaining. Hoyer already missed a
game this season after sustaining a concussion on Nov. 16."
