DoD Food Analysis and Diagnostic
Foodborne illness is any illness resulting from the spoilage of contaminated food, pathogenic bacteria, toxins, viruses, prions or parasites. Foodborne illness is a serious public health concern for military, family members, civilians, and contractors. Furthermore, foodborne illnesses increase Disease –Non Battle Injuries (DNBI) thus, reducing U.S. Forces readiness.
Military Public Health assets will assist in the foodborne illness investigation and collection of the suspected samples. Preventive Medicine (PM) personnel will conduct a foodborne illness investigation and Veterinary Food Inspectors (VFIs) will collect suspected foodborne illness samples. Upon notification of a possible foodborne illness, follow the instructions below:
