Foodborne Illness

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention used to monitor cyclosporiasis, a disease that causes long-term explosive diarrhea, gas and abdominal pain. It scaled back tracking it last year after funding cuts.

The CDC says about 48 million people a year in the country are sickened by foodborne illness.

From Romaine lettuce to McDonald's salads, Goldfish crackers and Taco Bell queso, we hear more about food recalls and outbreaks. But many experts say our food supply is as safe as ever.
