According to the CDC, norovirus and Salmonella are the leading causes of foodborne illness hospitalizations and deaths in the United States. E.coli and Listeria are also significant causes of foodborne illness but do not account for as many hospitalizations and deaths as norovirus and Salmonella. Clostridium perfringens and Campylobacter are also common foodborne pathogens but usually result in milder illnesses and do not cause as many hospitalizations and deaths as norovirus and Salmonella.
