Participation in FoodNet allows the Tennessee Department of Health to contribute to cutting-edge developments in monitoring and responding to foodborne illness in our own state and nationally. Tennessee-specific data on foodborne and other reportable diseases is available via the internet, by going to http://www.state.tn.us/health/, selecting "Programs and Services," then "Communicable Diseases," and then "Statistics." More information on the FoodNet program is available at: www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/foodnet or by calling the Tennessee FoodNet Program at (615) 741-7247.
