Much higher cost estimates for the two pathogens were offered in March by the Produce Safety Project, a group at Georgetown University that works for mandatory safety standards for produce. The group estimated the annual cost of Salmonella cases at $14.6 billion and the cost of E coli O157 cases at $993 million. The group came up with an overall estimate of almost $152 billion a year for all foodborne diseases.
Approximately $6.2 billion ($4.8â$9.2 billion) of that would be attributable to averted treatment costs, or 4 percent of the total cost of illness. Caretaker productivity loss from seeking care accounted for $1.2 billion ($0.7â$1.7 billion), or 0.8 percent of the total cost of illness.Lost productivity as a result of meningitis morbidity represented the smallest portion of total cost of illness, at $0.9 billion ($0.2â$2.4 billion).xhibit 2 presents the cost of treating each of the 426 million cases of illness. Average treatment costs varied by country. Ukraine maintained the highest cost of treatment for all diseases at $62 for malaria, $1,113 for meningitis, $21 for pertussis, $264 for pneumonia, and $42 for rotavirus.
