Question

what is a foodborne illness outbreak?
when two or more food handlers contaminate multiple foods
when an operation serves contaminated food to two or more people
when two or more people report the same symptoms from eating the same food
when the cdc receives information on two or more people with the same illness

Explanation:

A foodborne - illness outbreak is defined as when two or more people report the same symptoms after eating the same food. The first option is incorrect as it focuses on food handlers contaminating food, not the illness outbreak. The second option is wrong because serving contaminated food doesn't necessarily mean an outbreak (people might not get ill). The fourth option is incorrect as the CDC receiving information is not the definition of an outbreak; the outbreak is about people getting ill from the same food.

Answer:

C. when two or more people report the same symptoms from eating the same food
