In the United States, 5,000 people die as a result of foodborne illness every year. In recent years there have been a number of news reports used to shed light on the subject, causing people across the country to become aware of the illness and also risks to be aware of when dining out. There is a strict code of sanitation that restaurants are required to follow, but unfortunately all too often restaurants have been found to include the presence of rodents and cockroaches on counters and in stored food, employees who failed to wash or sanitize their hands, and meat that has sat out without refrigeration.

These conditions may not be seen by customers, but their consequences are felt, in the form of food poisoning. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stated that an estimated 76 million people in the United States come in contact with foodborne illness each year of which 300,000 people requiring hospitalization. Foodborne illness and food poisoning which includes E. Coli, Shigella, Listeria, Hepatitis A and Mercury Poisoning can trigger many severe medical issues and in grave cases, lead to death. To ensure that people do not succumb to foodborne illness, it is imperative that all restaurant workers comply with all health codes. If you have suffered due to foodborne illness or have been present at a restaurant that feels unsanitary you should report the incident to the health department.
