According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, viruses account for over 50% of foodborne diseases. For the food industry, the two most common viruses of concern are Norovirus and Hepatitis A. Over the past several years, a number of Norovirus and Hepatitis A (HAV) outbreaks have been linked to a wide variety of foods, including berries, pomegranate seeds, and oysters.


Foods commonly involved in Norovirus outbreaks: Foods commonly associated with HAV infection:
  • Leafy greens
  • Fresh fruits and vegetables
  • Herbs and spices
  • Any food that is served raw or handled after being cooked
  • Raw or undercooked shellfish from contaminated waters
  • Raw produce
  • Contaminated drinking water
  • Uncooked foods and cooked foods that are not reheated after contact with an infected food handler
