According to the lastest CDC report on Food Safety:

The incidence of foodborne illnesses has changed little in recent years; foodborne illness continues to be an important public health problem in the United States.

What is added by this report?

Preliminary surveillance data show that the Healthy People 2010 target for reduction of Shiga toxin--producing Escherichia coli O157 infection (?1.0 case per 100,000 population) was met in 2009; for many pathogens under surveillance, reductions in incidence have occurred since the start of surveillance in 1996, but little or no additional progress has occurred in recent years.

The report continues -

To reduce the incidence of foodborne infections further, multifaceted approaches involving public health, regulatory agencies, industry, and consumers are required.
