There's a 1 in 4 chance that you'll get sick from contaminated food this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The federal health agency estimates that 76 million people in the United States suffer from foodborne illnesses every year, and about 5,000 die. Around 325,000 people become sick enough to be hospitalized.
