Acute Communicable Disease Control
Food Borne Disease Surveillance
The Food Borne Disease Surveillance team works to identify and decrease the risk to the public
from foodborne illness. We do this by monitoring occurrences of bacterial pathogens and by
responding to public complaints of possible foodborne outbreaks of disease. Protecting county
residents from foodborne illness is best accomplished through cooperation between the Food
Borne Disease Surveillance team, the Public Health Laboratory and Environmental Health Bureau
of Consumer Protection's Food & Milk Program. Together, we are working to improve basic
surveillance of foodborne diseases and to coordinate our response to outbreaks.
