Traditional surveillance systeMS capture only a fraction of the estimated 48million yearly cases of foodborne illness in the United States (Nsoesie EO et al. 2014). Food-borne illness has a societal cost of $357 billion annually. (Roberts, Tanya 2007) It is clear that mass-media play crucial roles in shaping public responses to health-related news (Cecaro 2011). Health communication should adhere to the principle of beneficence, non-ma- leficience, respect for personal autonomy, and justice (Cecaro 2012) Now a further step is needed, from ?one medicine approach? to ?one communication approach?. Health information institutions could potentially have a major influence on future communication strategies if they create a sort of standard to inform all stakeholders of the outcome of their evaluations. Information to the consumer is one of the main concern of the alert system, but in fact there is still a wide divergence between scientific and lay perceptions of risk, especially on a local basis.
