The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates foodborne illness 1340 sickens 48 million Americans every year, resulting in 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. For South Dakota this extrapolates to approximately 125,000 illnesses, 340 hospitalizations and eight deaths annually. In 2017, South Dakota reported the following foodborne illness cases: Salmonella (226), Campylobacter (395) and E. coli (91). That’s over 700 cases just last year. Clayton recommends the following safety tips for preparing and storing food: • Clean and sanitize. Wash hands, cutting boards, utensils and countertops. • Separate.
