How many people annually die from food borne illness?

3,000
5,000
10,000
20,000

The correct answer is: 3,000

Foodborne illness is a serious problem that affects many people each year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that foodborne illness causes approximately 3,000 deaths annually. While this may seem like a small number, it is important to note that this number only represents the reported cases, and the actual number could be much higher. This is why it is crucial to handle and prepare food safely to prevent the spread of foodborne illnesses. The other options are incorrect because they are either lower or higher than the estimated number of annual deaths from foodborne illness.
