In this article "Food safety oversight varies greatly by state" is an article about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and CSPI food saftey director to assign letter grades to the 50 states wether they have foodbourne illnesses. I found it shocking that 14 states were given an "F'' (Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and West Virgina.) I found it shocking that 14 states failed the tracking of foodbourne illnesses because it shows that people dont keep track of the illnesses. But 7 states got an "A" (Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota and Wyoming.) After reading this article I felt happy that New York wasnt given an "F" it shows somewhat that our food is safe. I also found it shocking that "about 48 million people suffer from a foodbourne illness every year and CDC says 128,000 end up in the hospital from the illnessess each year and 3,000 die.'' I think the CDC should check up more often to lower the illnesses and deaths each year.
