 Overview
Foodborne disease has long been a public health challenge
and continues to threaten lives. Now, more than ever, protecting
the nation's food supply is a total team effort, with some
rather unexpected partners. During this broadcast, our
case will depict a foodborne disease outbreak of E.
coli in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that required a coordinated,
rapid, and comprehensive response from a range of local,
state, and federal public health agencies. Join us as we
discuss the emerging risks of foodborne disease and explore
strategies for a safer future.
Goal
To illustrate contemporary food safety strategies and
how they are carried out by various partners, as well as
to promote a national dialogue among public health leaders
and professionals on the public health response to foodborne
disease outbreaks.
Objectives
- Define a foodborne disease outbreak.
- Identify the roles of federal, state, and local
public health agencies in responding to an outbreak
of foodborne disease.
