The researchers surveyed health departments about their inspection practices and then linked these data with the number of outbreaks and other food safety outcomes in those health departments' jurisdictions. (cdc.gov)
Posting inspection scores in the restaurant is linked with fewer outbreaks. (cdc.gov)
Outbreaks are suitable for this type of analysis because outbreaks - by definition - include multiple human cases and allow investigators to question those cases to determine which foods they might have in common. (cdc.gov)
Through a process of questioning the people who got sick - and others who might have eaten with them but did not become sick - some outbreaks reveal a most probable food source for the illnesses. (cdc.gov)
