Approximately 76 million foodborne illness cases and 5,000 deaths occur in the US each year. Foodborne illness has negative impacts on customer confidence and the food industry. The "HELP" concept should be followed to control factors that cause foodborne illness: proper handwashing; cleaning and sanitizing equipment; monitoring time and temperature abuse of foods; and maintaining personnel health and hygiene. Hands must be washed frequently and properly, equipment cleaned and sanitized, temperatures monitored, and sick employees should not handle food.
