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.
