What is the cause of the increase in food illness outbreaks?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s hard to point to a single issue that\u2019s causing the uptick in outbreaks. There haven\u2019t been any major changes in regulatory policies, nor has there been a massive shift in the type of outbreaks being reported. There are just more of them.<\/p>\n

According to the experts, the increase in food-illness outbreaks could be tied to a variety of factors such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The food safety experts identifying food illness incidents sooner;<\/li>\n
  2. The increases in food and vegetable imports; and<\/li>\n
  3. A growing emphasis on convenience in the food industry \u2013 resulting in greater risk.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
