Foodborne Chicago - Report incidents of food poisoning in Chicago

• The Chicago Department of Public Health and civic partners have created Foodborne Chicago, a web-based project that allows residents to report, via the website, food poisoning from restaurants.
• The project also searches Twitter for tweets relating to food poisoning in Chicago and replies to the tweets with a link to the website.
• In 10 months, the project processed 193 complaints, resulting in 133 restaurant inspections, with serious violations found in 54 of the restaurants.
