5/13/15

Today in class we investigated the incidence of foodborne illnesses and analyzed data in order to draw conclusions about the changes in foodborne illnesses over time.

Tonight's homework is to choose or devise a question about food safety, research it, and write a response to it. I also recommend watching this video clip.

Food Borne Illness Questions
  • Can cannibalism spread any illnesses (ex. HIV)?
  • How can we prevent/minimize the risk of foodborne illness?
  • Can beverages spread foodborne illness?
  • Are FBI’s transmitted by other means?
  • Who should be held accountable when there are outbreaks of foodborne illness?
  • Which organization(s) regulates food safety?
  • Can all foods lead to foodborne illness?
  • What are the worst outbreaks of foodborne illness that have occurred?
  • What recourse do consumers have if they contract an foodborne illness?
  • What happens to a food producer that has their product recalled (voluntary or mandated)?
  • Where (i.e. from what animals) do common foodborne pathogens come from?
