People get sick because specific foods they eat are unsafe for consumption. Illnesses arise from the ingestion of foods containing various pathogens (i.e., foodborne disease) and risks arising from compositionally altered and novel foods (e.g., nanoparticles). An estimated 600 million people – almost 1 in 10 people in the world – fall ill and 420,000 die every year after eating contaminated food. Children under the age of 5 years carry 40% of the foodborne disease burden, with 125,000 deaths per year [8]
