What is Foodborne Illness?
Foodborne illness is caused by consuming
contaminated foods or beverages. Many
different disease-causing microbes or
pathogens can contaminate foods, so there
are many different types of foodborne
illnesses.
Most foodborne diseases are infections
caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses, and
parasites. Other diseases are poisonings
caused by harmful toxins or chemicals that
have contaminated food.
Campylobacteriosis is an infection caused
by bacteria you can get from contaminated
food and water. It causes diarrhea.
Campylobacter can enter your body
through contaminated water,
unpasteurized milk or cheese, and raw or
undercooked poultry (and sometimes
other kinds of meats and seafood).
