^report shows that there are 76 million foodborne illnesses, and 5,000 deaths costing more than 12 billion each year in just medical costs.
^Defunding/deregulation of FDA/USDA has resulted in an 81% drop in services which as a result the number of foodborne illness outbreaks has increased by around 300%.
^Current food safety expenses are 650million (FDA) 970million (USDA) or 1.6billion total. Expansion of food safety spending of 125 %( 44% higher than needed to achieve 1980 levels of service) would cost 2 billion dollars a year.
****Deregulation/funding cuts of the FDA has caused 36 million more foodborne illnesses, likely resulting in 3,000 more deaths and net of at least 5 billion dollars more a year in medical costs. When taking into account life expectancy time off work and other non-medical costs the amount staggers up to 50 billion dollars each year.
----So expanding the FDA/USDA spending by 125% (2 billion dollars) would save 3,000 lives and save around 50 billion dollars each year.
