FoodNet Fast

FoodNet Fast's Population Survey Tool lets you see how often people in FoodNet's surveillance area eat particular foods and have other exposures linked to diarrheal illnesses. It also lets you compare exposures for different groups of people. Data come from FoodNet's 2018–2019 Population Survey.

FoodNet Fast does not contain all data fields reported through FoodNet. If you plan to publish these data or require additional data please contact FoodNet@cdc.gov to submit a formal data request, or with any additional questions.
