FoodNet Fast

CDC created FoodNet Fast to display data for select pathogens transmitted commonly through food on interactive graphs, maps, and tables. With FoodNet Fast, you can create custom searches and download data from the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet), which covers about 15% of the United States population.

Use FoodNet Fast's Pathogen Surveillance Tool to see how rates of illnesses have changed in FoodNet's surveillance area since 1996 for selected pathogens...

Data are routinely reported to the FoodNet active surveillance database and summaries of these data are uploaded to FoodNet Fast each year. The summary data on FoodNet Fast do not account for changes over time in areas such as diagnostics and demographics, and some data fields do not appear in FoodNet Fast to protect patient privacy. If you plan to analyze FoodNet data for presentation or publication, please contact FoodNet@cdc.gov to request an appropriate dataset.
