because of germs like listeria and salmonella like we saw at the fig & olive restaurant in downtown,e. coli the breaks could have more severe consequences. 2010 and 01multi-state outbreaks accounted for 4,000 illnesses. there were an average of 23 outbreaks and that's a spike when we average just six outbreaks across state line and in a quarter century beyond that. the centers for disease control says there are two main reasons and one of those, consolidation inndustry and instead of companies just shipping to one reon t tainted products can wind up in more places. at the same time health officials have much more sophisticated testing to link them across state line. ? so how can you protect yourself? researchersre looking into vaccines, but that's a ways away at this point. right now there is no medicatio that can protect yourom e. coli-based illnesses. the best way is to avoid food borne ilesses at home. cooking meats to proper temperatures, washing fresh produce and of course, washing your hands and it probably bears repeating, jim, that we have not had any reports of any problems

on food safety, one of my constituents just recently was severely sickened by -- withl s listeria in 2012. i guess as a result of ingesting ricotta cheese from italy, among other stories i know that constituents have with regard to food safety. i know this is a resource issue. or i should say lack of resource issue as well. can you tell us a little bit about what you able to do even within the confines of limited resources? >> well, it's been a real privilege getting to know mike taylor who heads up fisma and this part of the fda. he's been doing this for years. a dream of his was to get fisma put together. we're now moving to the implementation phase. and i think the real key, because this is such a massive -- food is just, you know, a lot of things. high-quality analytics like every other industry is using now really is what we're implementing so we can target the inspections to where the highest risk is. we're even using genomics from bacteria to figure out exactly where they come from from doing complete genotyping like we do with people. so it's really moving the science along.

coli, listeria, and salmonella.unt for 90% of the multistate outbreaks we track. other bacteria and viruses more likely to contaminate food at the point of preparation or consumption, so we will see viruses more commonly as localized outbreaks. those three bacteria can cause serious problems, and e. coli can be severe and cause kidney failure and in some people, death. listeria is dangerous, can cause complications for pregnant women and everyone who gets a serious infection will have it in other parts of the body. salmonella is more common, it is less likely to be severe but still out there. host: what is the difference between the three of them? are there different contaminants, different bacteria? dr. frieden: these are three different bacteria. what they come from is a very interesting and in some ways surprising story. traditionally, we thought salmonella would come from eggs and chicken, and that's why there's an egg rule the fda has passed and is being implemented. chicken is less likely to be contaminated an

blue bell ice cream is taking a key step in its recovery after a deadly listeria outbreak was linked to its products this year. the company recalled its entire product line in april after three people died. but this week, it reopened its plant in brenham texas, which was closed for months for cleaning. that's good news for employees, 70 of whom are back to work at the plant after a long furlough. roughly 14-hundred blue bell employees were laid off nationwide after the outbreak. we have a lot more to come on news 4 today. when we come back we'll have the stories making top headlines in siouxland. plus... an e! favorite is being canceled. and michael phelps is taking on a new role. that's next in the hollywood minute. << >> wx timer @ :45 wind advisory in effect today until 6 pm winter storm watch in effect friday from 6 am until midnight we will get to enjoy some sunshine today at the expense of very strong westerly winds that could very well gust upwards of 50 miles per hour! highs will be in the 40s today for the last time for a while as we prepare for our first major dose of winte

it's not like they're testing routinely whether or not these foods contain salmonella, listeria. the only way we find out is after people get sick. >> i suppose they're interviewing the people who have gotten sick to see if they ate similar items, right? that's the way they track it down. >> chipotle, to your point, is being very cautious, because it's not only shutting down the six stores linked to sick patients, but it's taken the precaution of shutting down all the stores in those two states because presumably they're using the same suppliers in those two states, right? listen, in previous outbreaks this has impacted -- previous outbreaks have impacted the businesses. we'll have to see if this is going to become a reputational risk for chipotle or if they can get it to these particular restaurants and people get over it in a couple of days or if their reputation is on the line here. >> thank you. >>> the next hour of "cnn newsroom" starts right now. >>> happening now in the news damm "newsroom" -- what brought down a passenger plane. officials are not ruling out terrorism. >>>
