Abstract
Abstract:
Food borne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) in 2014 identified 19,507 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection, 4,476 hospitalizations, and 75 deaths (CDC report) and WHO estimates that worldwide food-borne and waterborne diarrhoeal diseases, all together, kill about 2.2 million people annually. Hence prevention of food-borne illness must have priority.
Food safety is an issue of national and international significance. In fact it affects all countries and has a substantial impact on both public health and economic activity. A new integrated model, with the active participation of MD, DVM, biologist, journalist is actually studied with a didactical purpose for "alphabetise" the population on food safety, and more in general, on public health problems.
This new original approach could lead final consumers to an univocal strategy aiming to learn best practices to consider
