Those are CDC figure estimates from last year for food borne illnesses.
Salmonella was the most common foodborne pathogen that led to death in the United States in 2023.
The CDC estimates that each year in the United States, 48 million people get sick from foodborne illnesses, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die.
Foodborne illnesses can cause a range of symptoms, including upset stomach, diarrhea, and vomiting. Most people recover within a few days without treatment.
They (the CDC) monitor a cachement area and extrapolate to the general population. There were 177 deaths in the study group in 2023.
