摘要

More than 28 million children receive meals daily in almost all of the nation's public schools, and in many private schools, through the federally funded National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The principal goals of these programs--which cost the federal government an estimated $8 billion in fiscal year 2002--are to provide low cost or free meals to children and to help support the agricultural economy. These meals are generally safe, but our analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that 195 outbreaks of foodborne illness were reported in schools between 1990 and 1999. These outbreaks involved about 12,000 individuals. Food safety in schools is especially important because children have a higher risk of complications from some foodborne illnesses. For example, children are particularly susceptible to Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7, a dangerous bacterium that has been found in undercooked meat and other foods and which can lead to kidney failure and death. According to CDC, children between the ages of 1 and 9 have the highest infection rate for E. coli of all age groups.
