GROVE CITY, Pa., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Barbara Kowalcyk, co-founder of the Center for Foodborne Illness Research and Prevention (CFI), was chosen by readers of The Huffington Post as the Ultimate Game Changer in the food category, recognizing the importance of her work to strengthen the food safety system in the United States and prevent foodborne illness.

"Changing the way people approach food and its connections to health is not easy," said Kowalcyk, CFI's Director of Food Safety. "But, the status quo is unacceptable. In the United States alone, foodborne illness causes an estimated 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths each year. If we hope to meet the food safety challenges of the 21st Century, we absolutely must change the game and put into place a new approach that integrates human, animal and environmental health to provide a more holistic and sustainable approach to food safety."
