Foodborne Viruses: Quick Facts

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
