The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that approximately eleven to thirteen million cases of foodborne illness occur in Canada each year from infections caused by bacteria (like Salmonella), viruses (like Hepatitis A) and parasites (like Cryptosporidium)?
Food handlers are not at higher risk of hepatitis A because of their occupation.

They may also trigger very extensive public health interventions that become necessary when a food handler is found to be contagious, even if the number of secondary cases is ultimately small.
In Canada, between 1990 and 2004 the number of cases of HAV infection reported annually varied from 3,562 (1991) to 396 (2003), representing rates of 10.8 and 1.2 per 100,000 population respectively:
