A study by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has found that fresh produce items cause more foodborne illnesses than any other food category.
The nonprofit group looked at 10 years of foodborne outbreak data to identify trends in which foods are most often linked to reports of illness. Fresh produce such as cilantro, cucumbers, cantaloupes and peppers--foods that are most often eaten raw--caused the 629 out of almost 20,000 illnesses.
