An estimated 75 million Americans become sick each year from foodborne illness.  ServSafe, a national certification program designed to teach safe handling practices to foodservice employees, is available in 35 Kansas counties.  In 2006, 650 employees and nearly 300 foodservice managers received ServSafe training from K-State Research and Extension in partnership with the Kansas Restaurant and Hospitality Association.
