According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), every year one out of six Americans gets sick from foodborne illness, and of those people, 128,000 are hospitalized. Given the public concern about this issue, in 2009 the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) compiled a list of foods regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that are most likely to infect people with foodborne diseases, such as salmonella, E. coli and listeria. Though two years have passed, experts still consider this “a pretty reliable list of the riskiest food items,” says Catherine Adams Hutt, PhD, RD, a food safety consultant based in Texas. Luckily, there are precautions you can take to decrease your odds of contamination. So from leafy greens to ice cream, read on to discover which 11 eats cause the most concern—and the specific measures you can take to protect yourself against sickness.

Not a pleasant thought!

Actually, though, most of the problems in the "contaminated" article have to do with the handling/storage of the food. A bit different than fraud!
