Why should I report food poisoning?

Help prevent further incidents of food poisoning.  

Each year, millions of people get food poisoning and thousands die. The majority of cases are unreported due to mild illness, limited public knowledge of reporting methods, and the absence of laboratory confirmation of disease.

Reporting improves the timely detection of foodborne outbreaks, helping prevent more illnesses from occurring. Reporting helps improve the accuracy of estimated foodborne disease rates. It helps evaluate food policies, and keeps communities safe.
