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.
